MARIO CANAL: Introducing Mr. Chic.

Dear Diane, Dear shaded viewers,
Let, me introduce to you Emmanuel Picault, the owner of Chic by Accident and Sexe by Accident. This is the best 2Oth century deco/retro shop in Mexico DF. www.chicbyaccident.com, Calle Colima 180, Colonia Roma, Mexico D.F.

I have to say that we met on my last trip to D.F. by “A-Tractor” (this is a kind of a private joke, sorry), and by Accident (joke, again), but also because he is good friend of my good friend the photographer Erwan Fichou. That we discovered later…
Anyway, once we met we became good friends.
But the rest will remain in silence…

This is Emmanuel in his back office.

What I can show you is part of his work, because besides owning a double shop, he is also an interior designer and interior architect. As testified by his important clients, he is considered the best in Mexico. He has also been endorsed by Wallpapaer* magazine, which proclaimed his latest work as the ‘Best Designed Bar in 2007’ : no more no less-.

This is an image of the magazine, perhaps he will send me some cool pics that I can post:

On the street level of the shop, he has also set up Sexe by Accident, a gallery of sexy objects -and more-.

This is a more obvious image…

Sooooo, he had more things to show but well, we had to run to the house of a Spaniard guy to set up some pieces Emmanuel is placing in his new house in Mexico DF. One of those is this table that I love.

That’s it.
