If you love hand made stuff - everything from chandeliers to fabric items - you'll love looking at the beautifully photographed Paris workshops in this book. The writing is good enough too, but I'll be picking it up again and again for the pictures. Wonderfully done. It's the next best thing to being there, well, at least for now. ( ) The subtitle 50 Shops Where Decorators and Stylists Source the Chic & Unique gives a decent indication of what this small 6 by 6 inch book has to offer. Bijkerk, who is herself a professional stylist and photographer, shares some of her favourite spots where she likes to source unusual hand-made objects for her shoots. With a wide range of shops and ateliers including jewelry shops, needlework supplies, sculpture and painting, children's clothes, repurposed industrial materials, ceramists, and stationary merchants, among many others, there's something for every taste and every budget here, though the emphasis isn't necessarily on shopping. The book is set up as a sort of walking tour of Paris; divided into sections according to different neighbourhoods, or Parisian arrondissements she encourages the reader discover tiny workshops and holes in the wall that might otherwise pass notice, with frequent encouragements to talk to the various friendly artisans along the way. Short texts accompany atmospheric photos which really made me yearn to stroll around Paris. Published by The Little Bookroom, Bijkerk also published Amsterdam: Made by Hand more recently. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
There’s a new trend among the young designers and decorators of Paris: an embracing of an aesthetic called fait main. Literally, this means “made by hand,” but in this case it includes not only new items fashioned by hand but vintage objects and found objects that are valued as they are, or that may have been reworked. What unites them is the “handprint” of a talented creator. Stylist Pia Jane Bijkerk has discovered more than fifty places–organized into walks–that embody this style. Some are shops owned by professionalnbsp;chineurs, people who hunt out objects sought after by interior decorators, architects, and stylists. Other places aren’t really shops but primarily studios, where, if you stop by, you can purchase something directly from the artist. You’ll find a designer who makes glass jewelry; a couturier who sells fabric remainders, a few garments, and handwoven scarves; one boutique set up like a home, where reworked vintage housewares are displayed. Another place offers hand-knit baby clothes, another reworked antique French linens. Also included are nearby cafés, bakeries, cheese shops, and tearooms with artisanal foods that reflect the spirit of “made by hand.” This is a book for all lovers of design and decorating.
