MONDAY BOOK MANIA
This week I browsed through Iconic America, a rollercoaster ride through eye-popying panorama of American Pop culture.
What is America? It’s Monopoly and Mickey Mouse, but also Sinatra and Fred Astaire. It’s the Declaration of Independence, but it’s also Barbie and Playboy. This contrast of images reflects America’s unique style and the influence that the images of America’s pop culture have had on the world. This book works as a great treasury of Americana. Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger and famous adman George Lois have crafted an enlightening book, searching American history to find over 350 people, symbols, and things of import. Their iconic choices are entertainingly presented through surprising visual contrast. Inspired by Tommy Hilfiger’s passion for Americana .

JIELDE LAMPS SINCE 1950
At the end of the years 1940, wearied not to find a luminary adapted to his activity of general mechanics, Jean-Louis Domecq draws one of them.
After some trials and errors, the final drawing is fixed in April 1950. It perfectly corresponds to the requirement specifications fixed : simple, robust and articulated in order to adapt to all working stations.
Extremely from this beautiful invention, he will spend the years 1951 1952 to industrialize the production. In 1953, he creates a compagny dedicated to the marketing of his lamp and whose his initial will form
the name: Ji eL Dé. Now this French Industrial lamp is in a new and vintage condition a master piece in every room. They are far from being used just in a shed or a mill, they are a piece of "art". Check www.jielde.com for the complete collection.

MOUNT EVEREST PARKA
Nigel Cabourn's Limited Edition Everest Parka is an exact replica of the very jacket created for and worn by Sir Edmund Hilary, one of the first climbers to reach the summit of Mt. Everest. The jacket features a cotton Ventile exterior for breathability and water repellency, French Goose Down for warmth, and a sheepskin rimmed hood. That's what we need now during these winter conditions.
