French bananas
Good lawd, I must be on some kind of colour jag - While working on an upcoming Style Scout for the National Post I discovered Maison Desalle, and their US distributor TK Collections, manufacturers of handmade French rattan bistro furniture (which I am suddenly totally bananas for). The frames are ultra traditional and incredibly hardwearing, but it's the woven patterns on the seats and backs that made my jaw drop. Maison Desalle offers them in 53 jazzy patterns and 29 colours, take a boo below; to me they almost feel more African in style. Click here to watch a video of the chairs being constructed. And, if you fancy, click here for my Paris Address Book.
