EDITORIAL No.11 - September/October 2013
Back to School…
One year follows another and September of ten
serves to foreshadow, in every field, what the co-
ming year will be like. Of course there are the 2013
collections, but 2014 is the year designers are loo-
king toward after a sluggish, morose year, regardless
of what anyone says. It's a time to contemplate the
new creations on display at the upcoming Maison &
Objet show (which, each year, never fails to make
Decoration and Design news), we detect a return
to simplicity, with flashy colors taking a back seat

Bioethanol is 100% natural agricultural ethanol that gives off no water vapor or carbon
dioxide. There's no odor or smoke. Without a firebox or ashes to clean up, they don't
require a chimney pipe and burn Bioethanol, which can be easily found in major
stores. Wall-mounted fireplaces can be attached easily to a wall or partition using
screws and wall anchors. Mobile models that can be placed on the ground are like

fireplace in an apartment without requiring construction or maintenance.

1977
Return to Simplicity
Whatever the application, design and decoration reflect an era above all else. It's
a snapshot of society at any given moment. Starting in 1977, the euphoria of the
early 70s, in terms of morals as well as creativity, gave way to a pragmatic simplicity,
embodied in France by a new President, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, and his cabinet.
In all areas of life, it can be said that starting in 1977, the bubbling energies of the
early 70s began to be channeled.
Oil crises, a bankrupt world economy, care, and transportation. With them, the

It revealed a desire on the consumer's
part to appropriate distinctive features,

Practical furniture made its way into in-

Isabelle Joubert
Visual Artist
Isabelle Joubert is a salvage specialist. All
of her creations are composed of maga-
zine clippings. They are patchworks of
little scraps of cut or torn paper which,
when stuck together, recreate an atmos-
phere. Her compositions are constructed
at the whim of the surprises created by
meetings with publications that are as
diverse as possible. A word or persona-
lity comes up and that's the sign that the
work is finished. All these collages project
her innermost thoughts, her desires, her
lifestyle. They are all steadfastly "green"…

Bernard Moska
Painter
First drawn to film, fate pushed Bernard
Moska toward painting, after a meeting
with Bernard Damiano in the heart of old
Nice in the 80s.
This fan of images tries, through his art,
to draw the public toward beauty, les
and less present in our society. Bernard
Moska refers to himself as a painter of
the everyday, he creates his paintings as
a look capable of talking to the viewer.

of the artists in this issue. Being honored this month, are Isabelle Joubert, Bernard
Moska, and Samin Ghiasi. Among these 3 talents, which one seems the most ori-
ginal, the most artistic, the most creative, or simply which one most inspires you.
Samin Ghiasi
Artist
My name is Samin Ghiasi, I live in Lon-
don, United Kingdom. I am 26 years old
and I am a fashion photographer and
digital retouching artist. I created PhotoPil-
low in my spare time starting in February
2013, and I have gotten a lot of positive
feedback, and that really encourages me
to keep going!
My photos are printed in very high quality
on square pillow cases (available in three
different sizes), and on fashion trends,
and also whatever pleases me in general.
I really like to play with colors and shapes.
My images are mainly still lifes, or abstract
images.
