Talk about an exciting job!


Talk about an exciting job!
So here I am again on a flight, heading off to my latest destination: first Louisiana, then Georgia. I’m making the most of the weekend to do a bit of sight-seeing. And before you jump to conclusions, I’m not here to tell you all about my business meetings. Instead, I want to share with you some of my favourite moments in New Orleans… the famous “Big Easy”.
Did you know that Fermob and Pascal Mourgue have been working together for 28 years?
This is the title of the very first Lyon City Design event
After San Francisco, I’m right back to the US, this time Chicago. Suitcase… check, passport… check, computer… check, folders… check… and off I went. Despite having a packed schedule and suffering the initial effects of jet lag, I let my Chicago contact take me for a whistle-stop tour of the city.
This month, I had to attend a trade show in Las Vegas, so I took the opportunity to make a little personal detour to San Francisco. I was really looking forward to it… and I wasn’t disappointed!
A couple of weeks ago I decided I needed some sunshine, so I went to visit my friend Isa in Barcelona.
You might think it was a huge land art installation, but you’d be wrong! Come and take a peek behind the scenes as the Landesgartenschau (“national garden exhibition”, for other non-German speakers like me!) takes shape.
This is the story of a little French chair that is living the American dream!
At the famous Harvard University – with its no less famous alumni such as Nathalie Portman, Matt Damon, Tommy Lee Jones and Mark Zuckerberg (references for each) – Fermob has become all the rage!
An idea, a snapshot,
