Early 2015 Merci launched ‘Hareng’ a book written in collaboration with it’s artistic director Daniel Rozensztroch. He also unveiled his personal collection of herring ceramic containers from 1860 to the 1950’s. Just like Paola Navone, Daniel is a great collector of things. In a Merci pop-up store in Amsterdam we once could admire one of […]

When your favourite designer and your favourite store team up in Milano at the same time you are in town for milan designweek you might call yourself lucky. After meeting Paola Navone at a party in Paris some years ago, I seem to keep bumping into her whenever I am in Paris or Milan. It was a […]

Paola Navone recently designed a Christmas line for French magasin Monoprix. From November 14-17 there will be a preview in a special installation at MERCI in Paris. The line consists of affordable design by Paola Navone. If you love dots and a good dose of black, white and red this is the thing for you. […]
One thing I love about MERCI in Paris is the use of words on paper… Everything is always nicely presented on a kind of scribbling-pad (that’s how the online dictionary calls it) For the Y Design Theme, there was a huge one explaining the Y generation and their effect on today’s design. I brought one home and added it […]
