I simply am in love with pieces like this. In general there is something so fantastical and futuristic about art nouveau period pieces. The simplicity, and sculptural effect of this Dalpayrat piece has me falling head over heels, in love with a whimsical and organic past, that I am sure is the trendy future of the very soon to be over, retro obsessed world of design.
