Paris Design Week

this is design week in paris, similar to fashion week only better, in my opinion. for those not familiar this is where designers from all over come together to display the latest ideas in all things design. i’ve never been but just looking at the pictures gives me all kinds of inspiration. an interesting theory i once heard. when the economy is not doing well, people tend to gravitate towards more neutral color palettes, (white, beige, grey, greige) when the economy is doing well people are willing to be a little riskier and start taking chances again. if design week is any indication, the economy is doing very well.
