Was anyone else as taken with these chair covers in today's Home & Garden section of the New York Times? According to the article, Isabelle de Borchgrave has created a new paper line for Target called "Isabelle Party" that is set to debut this month. de Borchgrave is a Belgian artist whose work is quite varied. She is best known for creating stunning paper dresses and costumes that represent the history of fashion. The collection, entitled Papiers a la Mode, was a collaboration with Rita Brown, a Canadian costume designer. de Borchgrave has also designed china for Gien and napkins and papergoods for Caspari.The chairs covers can supposedly be sponged off and reused, and I'm assuming the same can be done to the tablecloths. I love the floral prints that de Borchgrave has designed. To me, they look a little like a Porthault print!
