Dreaming of Paris This September? Pack Your Bags and Go!

May 15, 2011 - PRLog -- After 10+ years of visiting Paris regularly for the famed Maison&Objet show, they have compiled an impressive "little black book" of designer resources, information and contacts.  Over the course of seven days, you'll experience Paris like a design insider, with exclusive visits to artisan ateliers, VIP show access and more. Our last tour included visits to Creation Baumann, Pouenat, Legeron, Anne Gelbard's atelier and Pierre Frey's archives. Expect more of the same in September.

“We are frequently asked by designers if we have ever considered taking other with them when we travel to design shows. In response to those requests, we took our first group in January 2010, says Barrett. “After rave reviews from the group we decided to do another version for the September edition of Maison et Objet.”

Join this exclusive group of design aficionados in Paris September 6-14, 2011 for Maison et Objet and Paris Design Week.  The group is for 12 PEOPLE ONLY, to keep the low-key, non-tour approach. Take advantage of a few extra days in Paris to get the most out of the shows as well as have enough time to really enjoy Paris. ! It’s a once in a lifetime chance to attend the ultimate design shows! “We’ll get you where you want to go and will walk the aisles with you, plus get you exclusive insider access to ateliers and showrooms across Paris. There are no cattle calls on buses, mandatory dinners, just a fabulous time with a group of women that shares the same passion- design,” Schultz adds.  They have built an itinerary that will give the group a full experience.
