#01 Tales of the Spring

A new bud is blooming on the great tree of Style. We welcome all to this first month
on Chic Cityrats

Spring is barely knocking at the door, but already Le Printemps is all over our pages! Raynaud is gardening directly on our hand with these Gazon rings, a small patch of greenery that follows us everywhere and requires even less care than a house plant.

Ron and Jaime, the gifted California designers from Woodson & Rummerfield, offer this lovely wallpaper whence, sometimes, little birds come out (always when your back is turned of course). Their clients, snugly accommodated between Beverly Hills and Hollywood, include Versace as well as PETA, whose Los Angeles headquarters they decorated. And maybe you soon, via Green with Glamour, a new website selling designers' creations, which its founders Deana and Kat label "eco-chic".

Giraudet is adding this strange, soft-green thing to its vast catalog: a spinach quenelle - rather a "quasi"-quenelle, or you'd hurt the purist. Hand-made using only natural ingredients, it will taste delicious fried, on a fresh salad bed...

A ray of sunshine comes in through the window panes and hits us on the head, and already we picture ourselves sitting on the wheeled VIP chair, rolling down the grassy slope to join the elegant society awaiting us at the garden pavilion, cup of tea in hand. Or, sitting among the trees before the peaceful lake, on the Alma chair whose adorned back lets us blend with the surroundings.


Garden Party at Atelier LZC
 

 

 

Silkscreen print on paper, hand-made, limited edition, Atelier LZC
15 x 50 cm, 70 € and 50 x 50 cm, 120 €
www.atelierlzc.fr

It's hard to pick only a couple of things from the myriad cool and cute designs from Atelier LZC. Toy trucks, peacocks and ducks, palaces, flowers, trees and birds... They all jostle on stickers, wallpapers, cards or note-books, napkins, cushions, mirrors... These verdant serigraphs, these conversing warblers, are as much art as they are craft.

The gentlemen will now slip into their strolling shoes and lead the ladies to the garden. There they'll watch the clouds drift by, until the rain comes.
