Maison & Objet, cardboard glories

Gorgeous production & engineering values - clever & amusing things....

Random things from MAISON & OBJET

Random snaps of assorted lovely things.

The Astier de Ville stand was rather lovely......

Then there were these clever boxes of light, like oversized matchboxes, cow heads covered in crochet, 3d' Edinburgh castles in frames, vintage hankies embroidered with lovely messages........I could go on & on at the wide & varied ideas on show.
