The Art Gallery new generation YellowKorner opens in Shatin!
When YellowKorner opened its first gallery in Hong Kong in December 2013, the 1st photography label worldwide created a true revolution into the world of Art and photography. Its concept, “Making Art accessible to everyone” is totally new and unique in Asia.
Since then, the company founded in 2006 by Alexandre de Metz and Paul-Antoine Briat never stopped shaking up the local Art scene. Within 6 months, YellowKorner Hong Kong was part of the Affordable Art fair, hosted two exhibitions during the French May Festival, organized several autographs’ sessions with French photographers and opened a pop-up store in PMQ - Hong Kong new creative hub.
Located on the ground floor of HomeSquare, the largest one-stop shopping mall for home furnishing, the new YellowKorner gallery will offer shoppers the missing elements to their perfect home decoration.
To make this possible, YellowKorner created an innovative concept. The idea is to introduce the greatest photographers from all over the world by increasing the number of copies of their work to make it accessible to as many collectors as possible. So, instead of offering 10 prints at HKD 55,000, YellowKorner chooses to publish 1000 at HKD 550.
All YellowKorner photographs are produced by a renowned professional laboratory, numbered and supplied with a certificate of authenticity under the artist's watchful eye. With the artist's consent, the same photograph is available in several formats, each of this format having its own corresponding limit.
All these options make the large selection of photographs fit every style, every tastes and every budget.

Finnair makes possible three weddings in Moomin World
Arguably the most known and adored Finnish icon, next to Santa Claus, the white, hippo-like Moomins have become a worldwide phenomenon through puppet animation and Japanese-style cartoons. In Finland, the Moomins have their own hotel rooms in the Naantali Spa Hotel and The Moomin World theme park in Naantali. They also have their own Moomin Museum in Tampere and numerous gallery and museum exhibitions around the country every year.
Much loved especially in Japan by young and old alike, getting married in Moomin World sounds like a fairytale. And for three couples that wish came true when they participated in Finnair Japan’s Facebook contest. The wedding ceremony was held in summery Moomin World, Naantali and the couples were married by no other than Snufkin. Join their wedding celebrations and feel the love and happiness of their special day.
Moomins creator Tove Jansson would have turned 100 years old this year. To celebrate her memory, Finland will be full of Moomin activities throughout the year that is called “Tove 100”. This includes the Finnish National Gallery Ateneum’s major centenary exhibition that presents Jansson’s impressive career like never seen before. The exhibition will take place from now to 7 September 2014.

A new fine jewellery showcase on Rue de la Paix
In the heart of Paris’ golden triangle, at the entrance to the jewellery “Place”, at number 20 rue de la Paix, LALIQUE has just opened its first shop entirely dedicated to fine jewellery. With great emotion, nearly 110 years later, the House reconnects with its origins not far from the shop where René Lalique (1860-1945) exhibited his works as a jeweller between 1905 and 1935, at 24 Place Vendôme. In 1935, impassioned by the glasswork that had always adorned his jewellery, René Lalique became the glassworks artist who left the Place to set up at 11 rue Royale, Paris 8th, an historical address eternally emblematic of the House of LALIQUE’s Art de Vivre. In 1935, impassioned by the glasswork that had always adorned his jewellery, René Lalique became the glassworks artist who left the Place to set up at 11 rue Royale, Paris 8th, an historical address eternally emblematic of the House of Lalique’s Art de Vivre.
In a tribute to René Lalique, the architecture for this new shop is inspired by both Art Nouveau and Art Deco in which Lalique was the master of avant-garde in terms of materials. In designing this new LALIQUE showcase, the Pustetto Agency has combined the styles with magnificence and purity, between poetic softness and graphic rigor. The House’s boldness is revealed in colour contrasts and details, as a genuine signature of the “Sculptor of Light” and its craftsmanship: mat leather and shiny lacquer finishes, warm wood and cool marble, or black and white warmed by coppery gold. The preciousness of this new showcase sparkles in the dazzling light of 2,500 Gourmande rings suspended from a majestic chandelier in a tribute to the famous ring designed by René Lalique in 1931. Its Art-Nouveau inspired lines are extended to the design of the wall displays and staircase that leads to the private salon. LALIQUE invites you to enjoy this new experience from the moment you enter the shop all the way to the private salon and to rediscover the Aster panels in LALIQUE crystal decorated with the famous plant motif in micro-relief.
During Haute Couture week in July, this showcase will celebrate the new LALIQUE jewellery collection, Soleil de Gaïa. Over a century after the master jeweler René Lalique, the opening of the new shop seals the resurrection of the House’s fine jewellery, two years after its precious rebirth on Place Vendôme at Hôtel d’Evreux, with its Odyssée du Feu Sacré collection.
