I'm home

An interior design exhibition "Maison et Objet" takes place every year in Paris. Among the exhibitors, a Belgian interior design brand Flamant has a huge booth and gets a lot of attention from buyers and the press. In 1978, three Flamant brothers, Alex, Geo and Jacques went into their father's business which was antique dealing and at the same time, they newly launched a brand which presents home accessories. In the process of introducing accessories like a matching lamp for antique furniture in the showroom, there were many requests from clients wanting to purchase everything in each room as one coordinated room. At that point, they realized that a "recipe" to produce homes that people want, i.e.; interior designs and colors that blend in the modern space while still maintaining an antique feel, was desirable.
At Flamant, four recipes of "colour ambiance" are introduced twice a year by colorists and coordinators to make sure all the items they carry match beautifully. Their 2009 Autumn/Winter themes were "MARIE-ANTOINETTE", "SUITE/HOTEL"ArtD残o, "FLANDRES HERITAGE" and "CHALET MODERNE". Then, historical backdrops, paint color, wallpaper, and fabrics are determined according to these 4 different themes. People can easily create the "Flamant style" by even combining different brands of furniture if they fully utilize the golden "recipe" which form homes.
