Once
that you start going in depth and studying a particular subject, like I am
doing through these blogs, I found that I started noticing such designs
everywhere I look. So this time, I noted down the places in which I saw famous
and classic designs and took photos where it was possible. It is amazing how
unnoticed certain things go but once you start to look around you and actually
appreciate your surroundings you see things that you never noticed before due
to the rushed lives we live in today.
Such
an example could be seen at Water Biscuit in St Julian’s Paceville. They do not
have the actual chairs but more of an inspiration from Ray and Charles Eames’ Wire Mesh Chairs. I don’t imagine having
the originals standing out in the street in such a place but the link is
visible.

Another
example could be seen at the Sliema Sea Front McDonald’s where they actually
have the original replicas of Eames’ works. I think it is nice to incorporate
such designs in such a highly visited place because, after all, it is part of
everyone’s culture. If said designers, and others to follow, were not so
innovative we would not be living in the world we know it today. So in this way
we pay homage to their geniality.
As
for the place where one can actually buy such classical and stylish designs, I found
locally that Camilleri Paris Mode does. I could not go round the shop taking
photos, even because such furniture would be secured in the stores and would
not be taking it out just for a picture. So instead I raided their website and
found even more iconic designs there. So there I found:
