"These canes were part of the assortment of a collector who had lived in Africa," an antiquarian explains:
La Galerie Jantzen
18 rue de Beaune,7th
"I found them when cleaning out an attic in Alsace," the founder of the bookstore across the street from Maison Château Rouge admits:
La Régulière
43 rue Myrha
To my knowledge, aside from his shop such signs appear by calculation only in a restaurant whose decor Fofana created:
By highlighting the overlooked art
he has launched an idiom
that is direct, humanistic and fun.
