  1. Isn't John amazing? Do you ever visit the states? Next time you are in NYC, his shop is a must visit, it's like stepping back in time -- although I imagine you visit so many charming stores in paris and london that ring of times past that you may not be as impressed as I am. :) his eye for taking what is old and transforming it into an object for the modern home is very appealing to me.

    In many ways though, I guess most design is never really new though, objects always seem to echo a voice from the past, don't you think?

    Yes, it's wonderful how he appropriates the work of long dead unacknowledged artist and turns a profit to boot! That much is amazing!

    Pretension giftware for the socially insecure.
