prouvé inspires

this photo of jean prouvé

in front of his house in nancy, france c.1955, 

is a favorite of mine.

I just cannot resist the pattern of window dots.

and so it inspired

les points font tourner le monde 

(dots make the world go 'round) 

and the today and forever tea towel too.

prouvé believed in the power of design 

to make a better world.

(one tea towel at a time!)
