Flair in Firenze!

What could be more fun than a trip to Flair in SoHo? A trip to Flair in FLORENCE, ITALY! Oh yes, you heard that right.  Aaron took me to Italia for my birthday this year, and somewhere in between some massages and a gelato binge, we found time for a little browsing at Flair's italiano counterpart.

I tried to make up for the fact that we were obviously not buying anything (I don't even want to tell you what baubles cost in this store), by being exceptionally complementary to the staff.

I'll preface these pictures by saying I brought the wrong lens with me; it only has one setting -- zoom'tastic.  So, all the pictures look rather zoomed in.  Still, it is plenty of visual eye candy.

 I have no idea where Flair sources; it is like elves have scoured the last 5 decades and put the best of the best in this store.

What is this? I need it.

I don't have enough abstract wood sculptures.

I mean really, where did you get that lamp?

Note to self, light sculpture.

I need all of this.

I want the shiny table.

I need to do more book stacking + object, next to shiny thing.

I mean where in gods name did those lamps come from, where?

Mmm, shell lamp.

We could use some more sculpture.

An expensive box.

It's like a snickers bar, but a table.

Someone get me a knife, fork and napkin.

I need this table.

Yum.

So that was a visual feast, too bad I couldn't actually buy anything.  It just didn't make sense; the euro is still about 30% more expensive than the dollar, and even then, sticker shocking!  Fun to oogle though :)
