The grand dame of design, Andrée Putman, passed away yesterday aged 87. One of the most stylish women the world will ever see.
“Unless you have a feeling for that secret knowledge that modest things can be more beautiful than anything expensive, you will never have style.”
Rest in peace, Madam Putman, you taught me so much.
Totally loving the ‘Belle Etoile’ daybed by Andrée & Olivia Putman for Serralunga. So stylish. But then what would you expect from a design legend..?
Clean modern bedroom.

I was lucky enough to hear her talk at a design conference here in Hong Kong earlier in the year and despite her age (she’s now in her 80’s – and still creating inspirational interiors and products) she is very witty and charming, and still sports her signature coiffure and red lipstick.
