A collector with good taste, Clara Cornet is as much an expert on good food destinations as she is on fashion and design treasure troves. Vogue takes the opportunity to ask Cornet for her most beautiful pieces that she is loving at the moment, so that you can treat yourself too this summer.
HAY candles
“These pillar candles by designer Lex Pott for HAY Design bring a very graphic touch of fantasy, like miniature sculptures. I display them together, mixing sizes and colour combinations. They are so whimsical and make a very harmonious ensemble.”
Helle Mardhal's candy objects
“I love artist Helle Mardhal's work, and in particular her ‘bonbonnières' for their organic shape and their unique design. Each piece is different in its own way because they are handmade in blown glass.”
A Sabine Marcelis mirror issued by Rira Objects
“I've admired Sabine Marcelis' work since I first discovered her translucent resin candy cubes in the Céline boutiques when Phoebe Philo was artistic director. I fell in love with her Splash mirror issued by Rira objects, which comes in several colours and sizes, all as unique as they are beautiful!”
TEKLA sheets
“Bedroom decoration starts with beautiful sheets. The Danish bedding brand TEKLA is my favorite because of the quality of its organic cotton, but especially because of its delicate and unique colors. I mix and match the sheet sets for unexpected colour combinations. They also have bathrobes, and recently they have even started to make them for children.”
A Pumpkin armchair by Pierre Paulin
“Pierre Paulin's Pumpkin armchair is a modern design icon in its own right. Designed in 1970 for the Palais de L'Elysée, apart from its history, it is above all incredibly comfortable. It was my first furniture purchase and I never got tired of it. It can be bought new, manufactured by Ligne Roset, or easily found second-hand for those who are keen on vintage furniture.”
