Milan Furniture Fair-April 2008 Visit us in Milan during the International Fourniture Fair from the 16th to the 21st of April. We will be in the city center, near the duomo,in the prestigious neo-classical « circolo filologico », via clerici,10.

A new brand of high-end furniture will be launched during the Milan furniture fair, in the off circuit around the Duomo, in the prestigious “Circolo Filologico” (Via Clerici, 10). In a way, Qui est Paul?, or Who is Paul ? in English, tells the story of the life and values of a man through the objects he acquires and holds. The first pieces consist of rotomolded furniture that can be used in or out. They have been designed in order to be very sculptural, while remaining highly functional and ergonomic. They are all made out of fully recyclable PE. This first collection has been designed by Studio Paul and by Alain Gilles who in his “second life” has worked for Xavier Lust and Quinze and Milan and is currently being edited by several international brands such as Bonaldo.

I show you how much energy your home is using at any given time. I can show you in watts or in £s (ouch!). I can even show you in colour-changing light. I get my information from a transmitter attached to your electricity meter or fuse box. I am portable, so you can put me anywhere you like in your home. The idea is, if you can see how much electricity you’re using, it’ll help you use less. The people who invented me have found you can save up to 20% on your electricity bills. That’s quite a lot of money–enough for a new pair of shoes, or a candlelit dinner in a smart restaurant. And, of course, you’d be doing your bit for the environment.
