(Things we're doing and stuff we like)
The Salone de Mobile is always a busy time for the teams here at Camron but this year we have a record-breaking 7 events happening in Milan, from the stunning Crystal Palace exhibition by Swarovski, to the surreal installations by Jaime Hayon and Studio Job for Bisazza. You can download this pdf for full details of all Camron events during the Salone. To contact any of the teams in Milan please contact the Camron Concierge.
Yesterday I went to Abercrombie & Fitch’s long-awaited first UK store on Burlington Gardens. Music jolts me out of Mayfair and I am hit by heat, dim lighting and crazed shoppers! Models with unreal tans wearing hot pants beam with dazzling smiles while piling shirts. Loud, pumping music jolts you out of Mayfair while the heat has been cranked up so shoppers can relate to the expensive beachwear on sale. Oil paintings, wood panelling and grand staircases are a backdrop to the bright teen merchandise. I enjoyed the experience and urge a visit to enter into A&F’s world where beautiful people and ‘cool’ clothes dictate an ideal world they insist can’t be found anywhere else.
The Cookbook Café opened at the newly refurbished InterContinental Hotel, Park Lane and Camron joined the launch party. With top chefs Giorgio Locatelli, Mark Edwards and Michel Gehrig serving up a taste of the menu, there was an array of mouth-watering dishes to savour. Nobu chef, Mark Edwards cooked Black Cod and Locatelli’s chefs patiently created the perfect risotto. We also met newly crowned BBC MasterChef winner, Steve Wallis who mingled with foodies and established chefs including Michel Roux and Anthony Worrall Thompson. After teasing our tastebuds, we’ll certainly be going back!
While in New York last week, I made my pilgrimage to Moss, the best design shop in the World, located on Greene Street in Soho. The shop never fails to impress did not disappoint on this occasion – the collection of Maarten Bass furniture on display was breathtaking
My wallet didn’t stretch to the purchase of one of Maarten’s gorgeous clay chairs but I happened upon a collection of plates by the Russian designer Constantin Boym. Everyone is familiar with souvenir plates featuring stereotypical views of European capitals or other picturesque tourist attractions but Constantin Boym offers a set of plates devoted to unknown, completely non-descript areas of upstate New York.
Each plate is numbered from a limited edition of 300. I snapped up one immediately and will be ordering the rest online from Link text
There is nothing like contemporary art. Danish artist Jeppe Hein takes the grand space in The Curve in the Barbican to create Distance, a unique and memorable interactive piece. As you walk into the gallery a large white ball is released onto the roller coaster-like steel structure that fills the room. Watch the balls go along the track, through spins, loops and corkscrews. As more visitors enter, more balls are released and the excitement grows. This is the kind of playful, innovative art that a description cannot give justice. You have to see it for yourself.
