L'Aviva Home

Oh L'Aviva Home, how wonderful you are! What a fabulous idea to create a series of curated online trunk shows! It's been a dream of mine to have a gallery/cafe with revolving shows showcasing talents (artists, chefs, designers) from around the world, so mad respect goes out to them! L'Aviva says it perfectly..."the things we surround ourselves with should possess a soul, a history, and a purpose beyond mere decoration: they should help us connect to the world." Currently on show is Textile and Object and I am in love with their selection.
