Château de Beauvoir

In the umpteenth hour of researching images for a feature on artist studios, I stumbled upon floral artist Claire Basler and the 13th century French castle where she resides and works. Honestly, my initial reaction was: this can’t be real. It’s that fantastical. Giant floral and tree arrangements, placed throughout Château de Beauvoir, serve as inspiration for her life sized paintings and wall to wall murals. Life and work are truly one in Claire’s world. It’s mad, it’s exquisite, it’s breathtaking.

For me, a self proclaimed textile hoarder, knowing the intricacies and methodical care that goes into the age old craft of hand knotting and weaving a rug is enough for me to know that the rugs I’ve collected over the years are worth every bit of the investment. They are functional works of art that will last several lifetimes. This is why I love Loloi, a rug company that is keeping the time honored tradition alive by making hundreds of gorgeous hand crafted rugs accessible to all.
