PARIS MATCH
Who can resist the alluring pleasures of Paris? The city is dazzling even in the drizzly rain of January, when the French art of living is showcased during Maison et Objet. The largest home furnishings and accessories show in Europe, it’s held twice a year just outside central Paris in the Parc des Expositions, which is transformed into a vast bazaar of new products for design lovers far and wide. While I was there to search for treasures for Comerford Collection, my shop in Bridgehampton, I definitely made time to explore the best of the city, too. After all, Paris is Paris! —Karen Comerford
