Have a policy in our house of choosing to see retrospectives on women artists rather than the bulldozer we all know em men.
Weekend trip to Paris to see architect designer Charlotte Perriand.
Bloody brilliant.

And my husband photobombed me falling in love with the table from her apartment that she designed for those with little homes but loads of friends.

Table in situ in her little apartment from around 1938. She gave herself pull up ceiling hoops!?
