Love art? Like art? Think it's just okay? No matter what your stance - you will be amazed by this...

I sure am. I don't feature that much fine art. I studied sculpture for two years in college and especially loved working in wood. This series leaves me speechless. The creation of Bonsoir Paris, the "Duramen"(heartwood) series was "Born of a simple impulse, the one to break with conventional ways of exhibiting, BONSOIR PARIS and its team have imagined a series of frames so strongly mistreated that they have become unrecognizable. Their wish is to break the properties of the compound, a form of compromise as minimal and it is efficient."

This piece is my favorite.  The contrast of the chocolate-like wood and the white gallery wall is particularly striking. It's hand-carved Glossy Wenge wood.

The piece below is polished oak and sanded fir

We provide a setting in which they can display their collections, as inspiration for home decorators and interior designers."


Svend Madsen desk! I love it!


I am smitten with this chaise. It's linen and burlap, which is modest and down-to-earth, but it's bones are beautiful and elegant.




I love globes as decor!

Alicia Bock's nostalgic photography is actually really affordable at $35.00. More of her stunning work on her website.
