Nouveau Standard is a brand new publisher of furniture and accessories for the home. The first collection, 1976 Souvenirs Rustiques, offers a reinterpretation of the country interiors of our grandparents in four emblematic pieces. A rigorous but delicate aesthetic, full of character and nostalgia. Jonathan Fleurance and Simon Brandeau, from the Nantes architectural firm Atelier Standard, are launching their very first furniture line. Their creation and design studio, Nouveau Standard, brings outdated rustic interiors up to date, and reinterprets their iconic massive furniture. This first collection with an evocative name, 1976 Souvenirs Rustiques, is based around four pieces characteristic of country dining rooms of the 70s; a table and chairs, a fireside chair and a lamp, made by regional cabinetmaking, tapestry and lava enamelling workshops. The uniqueness of the project lies in the combination of a heavy traditional dark wood frame, and subtle details such as the enameled seat, the Nobilis and Pierre Frey fabrics, or the small balls, which twist the line. Nouveau Standard is already asserting its style with this first collection, and offers great prospects for the designer duo. " Our first collection questions the intimate connection, that of memories. Each of the pieces seems to come from a frozen era which is full of more or less distant thoughts and magnifies in their own way the interiors of our grandparents..." nouveaustandard I @nouveau.standard picture crédits © paulin giret

Prisca LLagostera divides her time between the mountains of Andorra where she founded L'Ovella Negra eco lodge, and South Africa where she opened Kokos Huis, a charming house and guest table located on a farm. Between wide open spaces and nature, the young entrepreneur reveals all her beauty and well-being secrets to us. INTERVIEW 1 - Hi Prisca, can you quickly introduce yourself? " My name is Prisca! I am half English half Andorran (a tiny country between Spain and France). I grew up in the Pyrenees mountains and then went to boarding school in Switzerland, and university in London. I spent many years traveling to Chile, working as a ski instructor and combining it with event work around the world, until I came back to Andorra and opened up my own Mountain Lodge at the end of my favorite valley. A few years into it, while traveling to South Africa, I fell in love with my winemaker husband, Jurgen! After many travels to SA, I decided to open up my own little spot there, Kokos Huis. I now spend my time between South Africa and Andorra." 2 - What are your cult beauty products, the basics? " I am obsessed with Rowse beauty products, my latest discovery! I also love the Soho Skin products." 3 - What are your morning and evening skincare routines? " I am actually a complete mess when it comes to taking care of myself! But I do love using the Rowse make-up remover, followed by Effaclar cleansing gel and then a nice cream. I love washing my face with cold water in the morning! Completely wakes me up and makes me feel fresh! " 4 - Do you have a beauty secret? A homemade recipe? " My wellness secret is to be surrounded by beauty! That is what keeps me sane and healthy! Breathtaking landscapes (which between Andorra and South Africa I am so lucky!), interiors that flow in harmony and that create pleasure to my eye and beautiful people!" 5 - Did you borrow a product or ritual from your mother or grandmother? " Rose water! My grandma has always sworn by it!" 6 - What is your latest wellness discovery that you love? " My favorite discovery of all times has been yoga... I wish I could do more of it, but it really makes me feel good about myself... I feel invigorated, strong, lean and mentally balanced. It is everything to me! Walks in the mountains as well. I can’t get enough of them. And of course skiing on a beautiful day. And natural wine! That has been a COMPLETE discovery... how well it makes me feel. And that is thanks to my husband! There is no going back now! " 7- What are your favorite beauty addresses? " Yogalife in Cap Town! Dr. Serena Cardoso is also in Cape Town. She treats individuals as a whole by harmonizing their body, mind and soul. And my hairdresser Adrian Ryan from Toro in Andorra. These 3 take so much care of me! " 8 - Where do you like to recharge/recover yourself? " In the mountains of Andorra and the beaches of South Africa. My other favorite place is my family beach house in Vilafortuny where I was practically born. And Mexico... I am obsessed with Mexico and Miami actually as well! So many places! I have some great friends in Miami who always take so much care of me. I love the latino vibe there, and the Caribbean beaches!" 9 - Where do you like to go in France or you would like to visit? " In 2016 I spent a summer in Marseille working for the Eurocup and absolutely loved it and its surroundings... I also love La Provence... My mum has always been obsessed with it so she has transmitted that to me. Biarritz as well, I love the wilderness of the Atlantic!

Bobo Choses pays homage to folk traditions in its spring-summer 24 collection. A Folk Song draws its inspiration from village festivals where children and adults mingle with musicians, storytellers, dancers and imaginary creatures to celebrate popular culture. As usual, the Spanish brand presents a colorful collection printed with cheerful graphic patterns. The loose, comfortable pieces and accessories come together to create playful outfits, faithful to the carnival spirit of the collection. We really like the red Catalan espadrilles and their printed ribbon, the madras and gingham patterns and the patchworks of the denim pieces. Bobo Choses also publishes a small 18-page book with vintage-inspired graphics and paper which invites its readers to immerse themselves in the magic of village folk festivals in a very colorful atmosphere.

We are very happy to share the wellness routine from Charlotte Gomez de Orozco, the founder of the most holistic spot in Paris, the Hoy hotel. Between practicality and natural cosmetics, Charlotte reveals all her well-being advice to us. INTERVIEW 1 - Hi Charlotte, can you quickly introduce yourself? " I am Charlotte, Franco-Mexican and the 3rd generation of hotelier in my family. After finishing a hotel school in Switzerland, I quickly opened my wine bar in Paris. A few years later, I opened HOY, the first yoga hotel in the capital. HOY includes 20 rooms, all designed around well-being and yoga, as well as three treatment rooms. Far from traditional spas, the “CARE ROOM” only offers holistic and energetic therapies. No televisions in the rooms, a zero plastic objective and a reduction in waste. HOY also offers a 100% plant-based restaurant, with an emphasis on “food as medicine”. In addition, we have a florist at the entrance and manual, meditation and well-being workshops throughout the year. HOY is part of a new generation of hotels, more eco-responsible, caring towards our environmental but also human impact, offering a more lively and diversified hotel experience. " 2 - What are your cult beauty products, the basics? "My cult beauty products are rose oil and rose water! I use rose water from Naked shop, in bulk, and rose oil from Alaena. These rose-based products are true multitaskers: they act as antioxidants to prevent signs of aging, while regulating sebum production to prevent unwanted shine. Plus, their sweet floral scent is a true pleasure for the senses." 3 - What are your morning and evening skincare routines? “ In the morning, I apply the Alaena day cream, and sometimes, when the weather is nice, I add a drop of sunscreen to protect my skin. Every evening, after cleansing my face with DHC cleansing oil, I apply a few drops of rose oil to deeply hydrate my skin and give it a natural glow the next day. Rose water is also a must-have in my routine. I use it as a toner after cleansing to soothe my skin and reduce redness. 4 - Do you have a beauty secret? A homemade recipe? " My beauty secret is inhalations! I boil water with lemon and ginger, then place a towel over my head to catch the water mist. I stay like this for 5-7 minutes, which provides instant skin refreshing, deep pore cleansing, stimulation of blood circulation for more radiant skin, antibacterial properties to fight blemishes, as well as a toning and revitalizing effect thanks to the properties of lemon and ginger. And this moment allows you to meditate for 5 minutes. " 5 - Have you borrowed a product or ritual from your mother or grandmother? "A beauty gesture! I put a line of black pencil only on half of the eye, inspired by my mother or my grandmother, which illuminates the eyes. Then, I was always raised natural, the least, the best! " 6 - What is your latest wellness discovery that you love? " My last wellness discovery that I recommend is Reformer Pilates. Also, at HOY, we offer medicinal plant workshops based on certain themes, such as sleep and silhouette, with tea cures to drink for a month. Plants support our body and our organism, and their effects on the body are immediate! " 7- What are your favorite beauty addresses? "My favorite beauty addresses include Yuj for yoga, The New Me for Pilates, our treatment rooms at HOY for energetic massages, Lanqi Spa for deep Chinese massages, my top secret hairdresser on avenue de la Grande Armée who calls Sandro, as well as Maison Alaena for all beauty products and Naked Shop for bulk products and basic oils." 8 - Where do you like to relax in France? “ I like to go to Corsica and the mountains to recharge my batteries, but if I can't leave, spending an hour at the HOY florist is enough for me!” 9 - What “Hoy” beauty tips do you recommend to our readers to look radiant next spring? " I recommend going to the osteopath four times a year, once a season, to minimize the physical consequences of all our emotional ailments stored in the body, as well as poor posture and too much screen time. An hour with an osteoenergetic restores all energies, which has a positive impact on external beauty. In addition, stretching and doing 15 minutes of sport or yoga in the morning helps loosen muscles, relax tense areas and relieve aches and pains. Finally, a herbal cure with our therapist Francesca would be beneficial!” WELLNESS AT HOY HOTEL hoyparis I Instagram @chadeo pictures credit - courtesy © hoy paris
