went to paris the week before last courtesy of clestra who were launching a new partition range at the T1 tower in la defense. we took the eurostar on thursday morning [champagne all round], lunch in the restaurant on top of the pompidou centre looking out across paris. then a walking tour of some of the newer parts of paris near the bibliotheque nationale. then to the very 'boutique' hotel kube - we made note of the ice bar for later. then the clestra party, and back to the ice bar for vodka. in the morning we took the eurostar back to st pancras again, and some of us went back to work.
Wow, that day at work sucked!
I never want to hear you moan about your job again! :)

it's very rare for me to be asked on these things! the interior designers go to parties and 'factory visits' to milan etc all the time. but the party circuit is centred on furniture manufacturers and suppliers and that's not my job, so even if i get the invite i can seldom justify the time. this one was a personal invite from a firm i'd worked with both recently and in my last job.
