Birthday girl in white heaven…

Today, I’m turning 43 and I have to say that I’m happy…Not that it is my Birthday, I don’t really care (except when my family forgets about it but they didn’t…), no I’m happy because I feel good in my own skin and happy with what I have in my life. I live with the love of my life who not only I think, is good-looking but has great taste and showered me with beautiful gifts this morning from Mont Blanc and COS. I have a wonderful child who is becoming an amazing, funny and witty little person, a business that I’m passionate about. I have friends that I have known for 25 years and others that I only met online but who are very much present in my daily life. I have a first catalogue that received an Award early this week, a great team and people around me I enjoy working with. I have still fire in my belly and the willingness to try things, take a risk and I have decided that …

Jacqueline Morabito Collection

Jacqueline Morabito collection

Finally…the Jacqueline Morabito collection is coming…Like a dream come true… Last Summer, I had the pleasure to meet Jacqueline Morabito in the South of France…she was kind, douce, passionate and smiling… From our meeting, a dream (my dream!) came true and it fills me with deep joy and a sense of peace to introduce you to the woman who has the most influenced my life, my home, my vision. Be patient, more things are coming…beautiful, timeless, simple. THE WHITE COMPANY’S NEW COLLECTION IS OUT

My meeting with Jacqueline Morabito…

Yesterday, Steve did the sweetest, loving thing for me, driving 160kms from our holidays place to just take me to Jacqueline Morabito‘s shop in La-Colle-Sur-Loup… I can’t express how much this meant to me…I guess, Morabito is to me what Anne Wintour would be to fashionistas. An exceptional woman with an amazing vision for simplicity and beauty and someone whose work and vision has influenced my life immensely and of course, the birth of BODIE and FOU. Nowadays, white interiors can be seen everywhere but Jacqueline Morabito was an Avant-gardiste in the way she created simple, flawless, understated yet welcoming contemporary white interiors and although often copied, her style is very unique. You won’t see shabby chic in Morabito’s work but rather a vision for purity and simplicity, which can also be found in the small decorative pieces she designs for the home.I remember the stab of pain I felt the first time I came across her home in a French magazine in my twenties… There it was, spread over a few pages, her amazing …

Morabito’s inspired mood board

Last week I promised I would put together a Morabito – inspired mood board so here it is…Achieving her simple, timeless, inspiring style is not just a matter of painting a room in white and adding a few white accessories.Bearing in mind also that not everyone is married to an artist like her late husband and Architect Yves Bayard was, it also a bit more challenging to achieve the Morabito look if you do not live in a contemporary home with concrete floors, superb volumes, high ceilings and natural light.However challenging it is, this is not impossible if you have at least wooden floorboards (and maybe if we really really want to stretch it….laminate flooring..argh..just writing ‘laminate flooring’ makes me cringe).Ok let’s run with it because I’m aware that a lot of property developers didn’t refurbish their investments with Morabito’s style in mind.So of course the first thing to do is to paint all the walls in white which will not only create a blank canvas but will bring a beautiful, natural light to the …

Jacqueline Morabito: my interiors fix

To start your weekend in a relaxing mood, here are more inspiring interiors pictures from Jacqueline Morabito…. For someone as talented and renowned as Morabito, it’s actually quite tricky to find photos of her designs but I’m delighted I’ve found these on the front cover of I’m home, a Japanese magazine. The right one is a picture of her lounge and I’ve always loved the simple lines of the fireplace and the furniture she designed. http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/UxVs

Our favourite Interior Designer: Jacqueline Morabito

Jacqueline Morabito is without a doubt one of the most talented French Interior Designer & Architect and Elodie & I have always been huge fans of her simple, contemporary, minimalist style which she often mixed beautifully with vintage pieces. Below are pictures of a house she designed in the south of France (in the heart of an oak grove) now on the market…in case you were looking for a beautiful French home to live in happy ever after. Morabito’s style hugely influenced us when we designed the BODIE and FOU website and put together the first collection….In fact, she is one of the few persons I would love to http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/UxVs
