Design Center Arrives en Paris!

The LATimes travel blog reports on the innovative new design center right along with Seine in Paris. Cite de la Mode et du Design, home of the prestigious Institut Francais de la Mode (IMF) was designed by Jakob Macfarlane, perhaps the hottest architectural firm in France today, and decorated with the help of the contemporary furniture company Vitra, it lines the river with a web of futuristic green glass tunnels where visitors can promenade, shop, dine and visit galleries. IMF also hopes to open a museum there. Almost makes us want to book some cheap flights to Paris just to check out the space!
