“Here, too, complexity is required, but with a more intense spirit, even a little kitsch, with the accumulation of objects. One of the leaders of this tribe could be Laura Gonzalez.

Sofas dressed in warm colors with rich silk, slips, rattan are the signs of this tribe, which, for example, will happily open the door of Galerie Vauclair in Paris. These bohemian bohemians are both very refined and very cheerful, and know how to juggle references, materials, patterns and unique objects, such as jugs in the shape of animals, plates resembling cabbage leaves, as well as Galle vases, Valauris ceramics…” :

“This breed likes friendly, vibrant, very colorful environments. And while these qualifications may also apply to a clan of bohemian bohemians, here they are accompanied by a very playful dimension. Followers of Pop Extravagance are, in fact, particularly daring, imaginative and obscene. They love warm shapes and materials, maximalism, like long pile carpets and futuristic lamps. If they buy iconic items from the Memphis movement and Ettore Sottsass, they also like 80s items like neon lights, lava lamps, and the street art vibe they associate with vintage comics. , which are placed within artworks. They have subversive arts and theater associations.”

“Essential aesthetes are very different from other races. They love minimalism and all their purchases, which are otherwise quite rare, are thought out in a rational spirit. They are knowledgeable. For them, aesthetics meets function. Their favorite shades. Apparently neutral shades such as whites, creams… Fearing them, well-being is closely related to visual harmony and conscious and committed consumption. They like what is durable, what is made of honest materials, what never goes out of style, in short, the most important thing.”
