Today I want to introduce an au courant design style to you, that is Swedish Gustavian style. I’m seeing iconic Gustavian style furniture featured more and more in popular design mags, and even whole homes dedicated to this style. So why is this style so hot right now…

I’ve been looking forward to visiting Scott Antique Fair in Atlanta since we moved here, and we finally made it out last month. This market took me right back to my time living in Paris and visiting the Paris Flea Markets (the Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen is the very best).

I wouldn’t say that my short time living in Paris made my style what it is today, but that experience certainly played a central role in informing my ideas on beauty and design. Here, I’d like to share a few observations learned from the French, and how these observations changed my design style.
