Paris is one of my favourite places to visit for inspiration. I recently spent a wintery weekend with two of our designers soaking up all the style and energy you find during design week in the French capital. I visited Maison et Objet & Deco Off, but what i really love is visiting galleries, museums, restaurants and whatever else is new and buzzy in the city of lights.

Our three days in Paris were rainy and grey but the explosion of colour we saw in every showroom more than compensated for the dreary weather.
