The Tofinou 12 by Latitude 46 is not a sailing boat like any other: this is a real masterpiece! Even more when the interior is fully designed by Philippe Starck with the intention of creating an actual timeless boat.

By the way, I just had the chance to spend one week with a bunch of friends on a sailing boat in Greece and I must admit I had to post something about sailing boats. Then, I found out about the Tofinou 12.  Considered as a “week end boat” by its producers, the elegant and chic Tofinou 12 m or “maxi” Tofinou offers a large cabin with separate toilet, four large berths and gallery. Plus, Tofinou 12 features a brand new interior with dozens of details, such as a Goyard wardrobe, specially added by the Starck agency. For the sailing fans, you will have to pay about 300,000€ to get yours with the Starck package (250,000€ for the classic Tofinou 12)! Read the rest of this entry »

When referring to Parisian concept stores, one will always quote Colette. What about Spree, situated in the 18th district of Paris?

Roberta Oprandi (fashion designer) and Bruno Hadjadj (visual artist and art director) created Spree in 2000. Then, they developed their concept : mixing a selection of fashion designers, design furnitures from the 50’s till the 80’s and contemporary artists.

Spree is indeed a boutique gallery that shows the passions, influences and voyages of Roberta and Bruno. Spree is definitely one of the international boutiques to visit in Paris: spree has a good reputation in many countries thanks to the selection of designers. Every season, they present an exclusive selection of new talents to their customers. This selection is a mix of famous (such as Pierre Hardy, APC, Acne, Isabel Marant) and unknown designers (such as Sharon Wauchob, Tsumori Chisato or Giorgio Brato) from all around the world. Besides, Spree has a very heteroclite panel of customers: many people from the movie, music and fashion domain.
