Ok, ok… so “curule” is really a smarty-pants-make-everyone-feel-dumb way of saying “x-based” stool, but don’t discount the “humble” stool’s contribution to interior design.

Quand j’ai vu cette vidéo, il a été le coup de foudre.
Loosely translated, “when I saw this video it was love at first sight.”
The film focuses on Gabrielle Chanel’s late 20s — her work as a seamstress and cabaret singer to her life as a kept mistress of wealthy playboy Etienne Balsan and her fling with a British industrialist Arthur “Boy” Capel, all the while developing her signature style that became de rigeur for the modern woman of the 20th century.
