Louis Vuitton has added a new book to its series of travel notebooks, this one of Mumbai. I love these books… I recently bought the New York book illustrated by one of my favorite illustrators, Ruben Toldeo. The Mumbai book is illustrated by Florine Asche and is teeming with gorgeous watercolor illustrations based on the artist’s travels in Mumbai. Fantastic stuff, really and truly. The book is currently sold out but is in production for a reprinting and should be available soon in stores nationwide. Mili wrote a lovely piece about it in our new issue of Nirali Magazine out now…. be sure to check out the article and our new issue.

Saw Bodo Sperlein‘s work for Lladró in a new special issue of House & Garden and after googling him, found his work quite impressive. I especially loved the Golden Forest fine china set he designed for Germany’s Dibbern. In all, his work shows great shapes with fantastic classic silhouettes and lovely spare and modern patterns.
