It’s a magical game. Imagine a game in which you cannot lose. A game in which every card is a good card, every combination is a winner, all moves are allowed, and in which all rules can be made up as you go along. A collection of squares, like the letters of a novel or the notes of a symphony which give you infinite possibilities to create styles, drawings, compositions, colours… your own score, your own work of art. And what’s more, it's easy. Magical squares for my friends, particularly my architect friends,” explains Philippe Starck.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisTi5E4IqQzJ89ShH9VuAt0zvZbGMmz4-0FKuq_q0CaD2Z6Tigdy2VvP1-zczuxPL0ry4JLf7qg7hNoxdg0iC51AxEhw3n-JS2ngJbgjf7Ee-jTytk2961YpsCI7xkCNhyamBRVsoeBeh7/s1600/2010Fletco01.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515413437206935922" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisTi5E4IqQzJ89ShH9VuAt0zvZbGMmz4-0FKuq_q0CaD2Z6Tigdy2VvP1-zczuxPL0ry4JLf7qg7hNoxdg0iC51AxEhw3n-JS2ngJbgjf7Ee-jTytk2961YpsCI7xkCNhyamBRVsoeBeh7/s400/2010Fletco01.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 385px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf3XqsirBPdTzctLH1tEXC1Hzz2oqdcAavmQ8pW8SsN0o0X6cPkkSx88GHIQumr6GyxogBANs-_yXVaBbrCjBzw9cZXsLBHNsQoq4wiWfEjg3l8vVP-KZDfaY5aAwgnyXveR3xyZ1Es8yY/s1600/Calque-28.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515413039069651874" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf3XqsirBPdTzctLH1tEXC1Hzz2oqdcAavmQ8pW8SsN0o0X6cPkkSx88GHIQumr6GyxogBANs-_yXVaBbrCjBzw9cZXsLBHNsQoq4wiWfEjg3l8vVP-KZDfaY5aAwgnyXveR3xyZ1Es8yY/s400/Calque-28.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 528px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNzXkD01KWT0GbragAlN4hhwkwxR6pTGEWLSpOdevr4uEqvJ_ZiP1ZAikRbhgbB66QVG7uU4fMAoJAUiGnzJECmLC1OOnhbE7K33I3ATyNqHfDjZ9nyp4p71LAEvCnrOmTjawqZN9w9QDL/s1600/STARCK_by_Fletco_EX5.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515415463578354498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNzXkD01KWT0GbragAlN4hhwkwxR6pTGEWLSpOdevr4uEqvJ_ZiP1ZAikRbhgbB66QVG7uU4fMAoJAUiGnzJECmLC1OOnhbE7K33I3ATyNqHfDjZ9nyp4p71LAEvCnrOmTjawqZN9w9QDL/s400/STARCK_by_Fletco_EX5.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 525px; height: 360px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw8R9wT-VFifhsyFSvO2aQWDWzj6tDjPr9j0oMK80z6YUWtJt6CBWVbp-q5-O0NDAI9PAEAw6DkSKqDxmfu2CsSWEk8q1xc7WOwHoBuyg6CP1-s9L7bSQE59eKGc7K97EzsbrxMBQfJoA0/s1600/Calque-49.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515413858396775266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw8R9wT-VFifhsyFSvO2aQWDWzj6tDjPr9j0oMK80z6YUWtJt6CBWVbp-q5-O0NDAI9PAEAw6DkSKqDxmfu2CsSWEk8q1xc7WOwHoBuyg6CP1-s9L7bSQE59eKGc7K97EzsbrxMBQfJoA0/s400/Calque-49.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 521px; height: 521px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqWZAEr8dQnqKYfAMpOLeKM9oz4w8mYIARg_ySiAgG1M6UIPfRkPl70uk-d6Tp6N4XFK3Je1QQ-awnXQBIutZ7Zos-yDkpFF6Dv-eYgBEVbeBdW7vOh3HRRU6NBR22b-iUuYN_JHR_jSvS/s1600/2010Fletco04.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515413297751348450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqWZAEr8dQnqKYfAMpOLeKM9oz4w8mYIARg_ySiAgG1M6UIPfRkPl70uk-d6Tp6N4XFK3Je1QQ-awnXQBIutZ7Zos-yDkpFF6Dv-eYgBEVbeBdW7vOh3HRRU6NBR22b-iUuYN_JHR_jSvS/s400/2010Fletco04.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 527px; height: 386px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizIOkdwQEDMCbCf6y4nNMjndrDR0JsGuTk6LbF9AnzazT4y6y-Bysp2BQExNgu1cTwni-zqdZfsiy_yt2aWxZzYd1opOU52AKM4QkrMdFl59o204KhwjMR9r41Ax26zCiTfpIGeMURJkLe/s1600/Calque-48.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515415593898018834" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizIOkdwQEDMCbCf6y4nNMjndrDR0JsGuTk6LbF9AnzazT4y6y-Bysp2BQExNgu1cTwni-zqdZfsiy_yt2aWxZzYd1opOU52AKM4QkrMdFl59o204KhwjMR9r41Ax26zCiTfpIGeMURJkLe/s400/Calque-48.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 524px; height: 524px;" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Philippe Starck’s textiles debut</span><br />This is the first time that Philippe Starck has cast his contagious, visionary and revolutionary design approach into designing carpets. In fact, it is the first time he has ever worked with home textiles.<br /><br />Moreover, this is the first time Starck has worked with a Danish company. Fletco’s Director Benny Jensen is particularly pleased about working with Starck.<br /><br />“We know that customers are looking for individual solutions, adapted 100 % to meet the needs of the individual hotel, office building or restaurant. What matters is creating unforgettable experiences, unique visual expression and the perfect ambience. The interior, the function and the design of any building have to be coordinated. Our new Philippe Starck carpet tiles collection is designed to bring utmost quality design all the way down to floor level,” explains Benny Jensen.<br /><br />Benny Jensen adds that Fletco will be marketing and selling the new collection to the contract sector all across Europe, ready for delivery from early 2010.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sustainability as a shared value</span><br />Philippe Starck is famous for incorporating sustainability and eco-friendly solutions into his industrial designs. He is also a man who expects a great deal of his business partners.<br /><br />Bearing these factors in mind, the Starck-Fletco partnership was destined to work: both are innovative brands, spearheading the markets on issues related to the environment and sustainability.<br /><br />“At Fletco, we applaud the fact that a world-renowned designer like Philippe Starck prioritises environmental concerns as part of any cooperative venture. His priorities perfectly match our attitudes to the future of flooring and to how we run our company generally. We are one of a small group of carpet manufacturers that has set new standards for taking environmental issues into consideration at all stages of production,” says Benny Jensen.<br /><br />One particular environmental problem that applies to carpet tiles generally is the backing, which traditionally contained PVC or bitumen. Thanks to new production technology, the backing of Fletco Carpet Tiles is guaranteed free of these and other harmful substances.<br /><br />Fletco has contributed to the development of the new technology, given the name ‘TEXtiles’. Briefly, the environmental advantages of TEXtiles are that it is 100 % recyclable and made of 60% recycled materials. TEXtiles production is almost completely CO2 neutral, and all production waste is collected and returned to the production cycle. TEXtiles is uniquely durable, giving carpet tiles a long life-time – to the benefit of the environment.<br /><br />In addition to sustainability, TEXtiles offers consumers a number of health-related advantages: The materials are allergy-tested and approved, they emit neither odours nor harmful gasses, and the TEXtiles backing not only insulates for sound but also has a shock-absorbant effect.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">all images and info courtesy of Fletco.<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp6E43V1hCqg1v5Q3sFu_0tkYi3w60-T_-kx_-2zrVAha8kBPm1hKeW9Ec63k9xslb4u2PAfB_tVIRpIJs1RVPs9uog_vPeduKCujtOlDd_uW6VokLSEzA88S0snYC1NwaDg5yzU_6eIw-/s1600/Picture+4.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515417383135005394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp6E43V1hCqg1v5Q3sFu_0tkYi3w60-T_-kx_-2zrVAha8kBPm1hKeW9Ec63k9xslb4u2PAfB_tVIRpIJs1RVPs9uog_vPeduKCujtOlDd_uW6VokLSEzA88S0snYC1NwaDg5yzU_6eIw-/s400/Picture+4.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 342px; height: 310px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Fletco Carpet Tiles A/S</span><br />Mads Clausens Vej 2<br />DK-7430 Ikast<br />Tel: +45 96 60 30 00<br />E-mail: fletco@fletco.dk<br /><a href="http://www.fletco.com">www.fletco.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.starck.com">www.starck.com</a>

The original bottle design introduced in 1948, was made to emulate a sunburst and had a frosted glass insert in the top. Only 3 years later Robert Ricci had Rene Lalique of <a href="http://www.cristallalique.fr/v2/">Lalique crystal</a> design a bottle that has since become a classic. Numerous iterations of dove-topped bottles have appeared since then, culminating in the newest modern version by Philippe Starck.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJD-GFPuSCnqhSdw7YzGLh1jXVIe3JZzDpJID9E_az5cjeivTI4HIfGzlD7TGucSthNzsTwxseuwhmq2HNuEHTnd8X-CTPqV43ByU4Le4RdbsFUNpOlJ4yj0x0e7KEvHJTuW-7qjDuBMZc/s1600/3bottles.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512863099960856034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJD-GFPuSCnqhSdw7YzGLh1jXVIe3JZzDpJID9E_az5cjeivTI4HIfGzlD7TGucSthNzsTwxseuwhmq2HNuEHTnd8X-CTPqV43ByU4Le4RdbsFUNpOlJ4yj0x0e7KEvHJTuW-7qjDuBMZc/s400/3bottles.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 525px; height: 153px;" /></a><br /><br />Below are all the bottles produced for the fragrance, in chronological order.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The first L'air du Temps bottle, 1948:</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRP639OuEemMe3VtOq-uV5CmBEw837F0Ph2p8REU6-Mnp6Uze6jhycTrYL6zkFbcZQPb-xTloudFCdSVBEGLmqQT6rdzPY5fmQqcbyB_21-Ofpad2B1fPWj8bnc8B0ht3drZhwD3YVOJpM/s1600/ORIGINAL+1948.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512849759513574050" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRP639OuEemMe3VtOq-uV5CmBEw837F0Ph2p8REU6-Mnp6Uze6jhycTrYL6zkFbcZQPb-xTloudFCdSVBEGLmqQT6rdzPY5fmQqcbyB_21-Ofpad2B1fPWj8bnc8B0ht3drZhwD3YVOJpM/s400/ORIGINAL+1948.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 523px; height: 511px;" /></a><br />In 1951 Lalique crystal created the now iconic bottle with the two frosted doves atop the swirled clear crystal flacon.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1951, Lalique bottle with 2 doves:</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyVnL4W0XVFccaW9qoTx6QQwV6JQYb81sKYOBsTcpyLZ1uwGje2CBrHURJYFTCuOiCeCqdkUWGeg0unGa3dkbNS5S3YJJy068RVEQRfo9-FMq68ZOH7io0dptEetZ8ev2QMM9lPAhT7POh/s1600/LALIQUE+1951.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512849947225049202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyVnL4W0XVFccaW9qoTx6QQwV6JQYb81sKYOBsTcpyLZ1uwGje2CBrHURJYFTCuOiCeCqdkUWGeg0unGa3dkbNS5S3YJJy068RVEQRfo9-FMq68ZOH7io0dptEetZ8ev2QMM9lPAhT7POh/s400/LALIQUE+1951.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 525px; height: 513px;" /></a><br />From 1951 to present, Lalique Crystal made numerous limited and special editions of the classic bottle which included variations on the number of doves, the color of the doves and the color of the bottle.
