Straight From Paris, Maison Valentina Showcases Glam Designs at Maison & Objet 2017

Reporting back from Paris:
Favorite Designs at the 2017 
Maison & Objet, Paris
MAISON VALENTINA 
One of my favorite brands to see each year at Maison & Objet in Paris is Maison Valentina.  This Market they brought high-style glamour with their furniture, lighting and accessories.  Harkening to Old Hollywood, a specific, nuanced elegance, which can be a tad over the top (in a good way).  Additionally, they are diving head first into bathroom  design as well.  Are you ready for these beauties because they may take your breath away?  
Think gold, black and exotic finishes 
and gold again...
UPHOLSTERY
Maison Valentina's upholstered pieces this Market were offered up in sophisticated jewel-tone and neutral colors, combined with gold--golden pear, sand, ochre and navy and set in modern, clean-lined designs.  We love the Maya chair with a channeled back in a sleek shape and tapered, thin-as-a-pin gold legs...

Chignon 
Sika

LIGHTING
their lighting is unique and exquisite, with rich detailing and hand work...
Nymph Sconces 
showcase our collective, continued obsession with butterflies
and this is a statement piece for any room 

Matheny Chandelier
feels regal and certainly would be the piece de resistance in any room
The Miles
is stately and fashionable at the same time

MIRRORS
Guilt Mirror

certainly a guilty pleasure and splurge
BATHROOM DESIGNS
Symphony 
Their new bathroom tubs, commodes and accessories bring even more glamorous design back to the bathroom with plenty of gold and black combined...these refined, bespoke products are created with the highest of materials as well.
Lapias Bath 
Diamond Bath
Sinuous dressing table

Happy Nesting
