Living Colors, a fresh new shopping fair at the Cartonnerie, 27th & 28th March 2010

Our favourite things

In a space that’s rare in Paris (kind of like a giant log cabin), 25 designers, artists and go-getters are preparing a weekend to wash that grey right out of your face…
So – the press release asks – are you « Fluo Kids » (has to be flashy, has to snap), « Sweet flights of fancy » (like a breath of oxygen) or « Lands of the south » (enveloping in warmth and light)? Or perhaps you’re more « Agog » (how do peopel get paid for writin this stuff?). In any case, you’ve understood the message: Living Colors is something different, out of the ordinary, hip, cool… all that and more. And why not eh? It just so happens that we’re in favour of something a bit different. This is what you might see there…

The beune has to be seen for a start. Spacious and, er, wooden. 450m² organised around a central glass-roofed space. Wooden beams, old brick…

The Concept? As we explained above. Fashion, interior decoration, organic make-up…

Something to shake things up a bit then! There will also be an organic perfumes bar, and African-fusion food. Yum! As he flyer says « come as you are, with a touch of pink! ». They are nutso…
If you’re feeling a bit grey after a prolonged winter and need a bit of funky zest in your weekend shopping, this could well be it!

Living Colors is on the 27th & 28th March 2010 at the Cartonnerie (here) from midday to 8pm. Admission 2€.
