new obsessions
We met Christophe Vialle at Maison Objet in Paris this spring and fell madly for one another--and his indoor garden boxes, which he calls Haute Culture. Besides grass, there are soil packs with seeds of herbs and peas, too. We've got them in colors and clear plexi. I love the mini Haute Culture boxes, too, because they can be hung on the wall, even spelling out a letter or word.

Total geek? Or Greek? These pant clips are inspired by Hermes, Greek god with the winged sandals. Amsterdam designer Gijs Bakker was aiming for bicycle safety with these fluorescent PVC strips, as well as cool. But it seems the kids snatching them up at our shop in Venice also give it glowing marks as a club/party accessory, wrapped around their arms. Love it.

what's in store?
