Walking through Maison Objet in Paris, the salon for all things new in the
world of home design and décor, I passed by hundreds of internationally
acclaimed furniture and home accessory design labels, but it was Jonathan
Adler's bright, happy booth that had me most inspired. Colorful glasses,
fun porcelain shaped vases, tiny travel pillows embroidered with names of
cities I dream of one day visiting, squirrel shoehorns, letter openers and
the most vibrant backgammon set I’ve seen—it was fun central and, as usual,
so was Mr. Adler himself.
