dinner for twelve

Nomiya is a new project situated on the roof of Palais de Tokyo, in the same vein as the Everland Hotel before it. It's a temporary structure, made entirely of glass overlooking the Eiffel Tower - and it's a restaurant.

Designed by artist Laurent Grasso and developed in conjunction with Electrolux Art Home, Nomiya seats just twelve people for a most memorable dining experience.
The auction is now open for Valentine's dinner! Who's in?

hotel never everland

A while back I blogged about the extraordinary Hotel Everland - a designer trailer perched on top of the Palais de Tokyo where patrons were able to spend one night in uber designer surroundings overlooking the Eiffel Tower. What bliss!

Well, I got to see the hotel while in Paris in May - colour me excited! You can't actually go in to the room (that much foot traffic would undoubtably ruin it), but it's a spectacular thing to see - and to imagine staying in.

It's supposed to be traveling the world from one exotic location to the next, so keep an eye out - you may just get lucky and find yourself in a trailer for two with a glass of bubbles! (oh I wish I may I wish I might)
