Michelin House – 81 Fulham Road, Chelsea, LONDON SW3 6RD
The House was constructed in the late 1900s – 1910 and was opened for business on the 20th January 1911. Designed by Francois Espinasse (1880 – 1925). He was one of Michelin’s employees. Espinasse was an engineer working for the HQ in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Little is known of him and his work.
The Michelin House has 3 large stained-glass windows depicting the Michelin Man (Bibendum). It is made up of many panels of decorative tiles, some with just flowery designs, others with a bike (1890’s) and cars of the turn of the 20th century. The windows were taken out and removed to Stoke-on-Trent for safe keeping, however these went missing and after much searching, suppliers were found and replicas were made. In 2011 the building marked its centenary and as a result the company renewed its efforts to trace the original stained glass. A amnesty website and hotline was set up but I have no idea if it was fruitful. There are two glass tyre like constructions on the roof plus other decoration, these also disappeared.
Michelin moved from the location in 1985 and it was purchased by Paul Hamlyn (publisher) and Sir Terrence Conran who embarked on major development and restoration turning into offices for Octopus Publishing, a restaurant and oyster bar and a Conran shop all opened in 1985.
Definitely worth a visit and although we visited Friday 7th July, I wasn’t fortunate enough to see the whole building in it glory. The only downside was that is on a busy thoroughfare and it’s not easy to get the whole shot of the building without the steady stream of traffic.

The animals have lovely big enclosures at this zoo it's one of my favorite places to visit.

Torna il Rally mondiale in Sardegna: la base sarà ancora ad Alghero; La sesta prova del campionato Wrc si terrà dal 9 al 12 giugno 2016.............io ci sarò come sempre:-)))!
Bonhomme et débonnaire, replet, satisfait de son aventure incroyable, il arbore son sourire placide derrière lequel il y a une énergie considérable, tellement bien employée. Bien mieux que tous les kung-fu de la terre !!!
L'air de peu, le personnage emblématique porte une véritable saga industrielle qui a conquéri le monde entier.
Cela valait bien un joli portrait d'hommage et de très grand respect.
Révérence monsieur !

Schönes Wochenende euch allen

Have a good weekend!
Designed by one of Michelin's employees, François Espinasse, the building has three large stained-glass windows based on Michelin advertisements of the time, all featuring the Michelin Man "Bibendum". Around the front of the original building at street level there is a number of decorative tiles showing famous racing cars of the time that used Michelin tyres. More tiles can be found inside the front of the building, which was originally a tyre-fitting bay for passing motorists. People walking into the reception area of the building are still greeted by a mosaic on the floor showing Bibendum holding aloft a glass of nuts, bolts and other hazards, proclaiming "Nunc Est Bibendum" (Latin for "Now is the time to drink"). The reception area also features more decorative tiles around its walls. Two glass cupolas, which look like piles of tyres, frame either side of the front of the building. The Michelin company's close association with road maps and tourism is represented by a number of etchings of the streets of Paris on some of the first-floor windows.
Michelin moved out of the building in 1985, when it was purchased by the late publisher Paul Hamlyn and the restaurateur/retailer Sir Terence Conran, who shared a love for the building. They embarked on a major redevelopment that included the restoration of some the original features. The new development also featured offices for Hamlyn's company Octopus Publishing, as well as Conran's Bibendum Restaurant & Oyster Bar, and a Conran Shop. All three businesses opened in August 1987.

Wajima lacquer style (Wajima-nuri)
The most famous lacquerware in Japan is “Wajima-nuri”. Most Japanese people know the word, “Wajima-nuri”, even those who are not familiar with lacquerware.
Wajima-nuri is lacquerware made in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Ishikawa Prefecture is famous as a production region of lacquerware. Yamanaka lacquerware is also well known in this region in addition to Wajima-nuri.
Lacquerware has been produced in Wajima, Ishikawa, since olden days. Jūzō Shrine in this city is known to have the oldest example of the Wajima-nuri style that exists today. This shrine has a door that was coated with vermillion lacquer in the year 1397.
The soil in this land is something that supports the Wajima-nuri style lacquerware. In Wajima City, there is a mountain called “Jinokoyama” where soil that is perfect for this style of lacquerware is obtained.
In the lacquerware making, the process called shitaji (undercoats) is necessary. Performing shitaji creates a hard and durable lacquerware. Lacquer is applied onto the shitaji undercoats, so one can consider shitaji as “the base of lacquer layers”.
A mixture of powder called “jinoko” and lacquer is used for the shitaji undercoats. “The soil from Jinokoyama” mentioned earlier is used for this jinoko powder. The soil from Jinokoyama in Wajima City is called “Wajima jinoko”.
Wajima jinoko is known as high-quality soil for the shitaji undercoats. Due to this type of soil, it became possible to produce durable lacquerware, which is difficult to create in other locations.
Wajima-nuri has been noted for its durability with the use of this special soil, but it is also known for its elegance.
Sometimes, decorations are added to lacquerware after being coated with lacquer. In the case of Wajima-nuri, “chinkin”, which rubs gold into the grooves, and “makie”, which draws a picture with powdered gold or silver, are well known. In addition to the fact that it is strong, the beauty of decorations is also a signature of Wajima-nuri style lacquerware.
It is said that the Wajima-nuri technique was established during the Edo Period (From 1603 to 1868). Some techniques such as chinkin and makie were consolidated during this period.- Traditional Culture of Japan
It is hard to define the architectural style of Michelin House. It was designed and built at the end of the Art-Nouveau period; parts of this style can be seen in the decorative metal work at the front of the building above the fitting bays, and the tangling plants round the tyre motifs at the front and side of the building, and also in the mosaic in the entrance hall. Despite this, Michelin House is very much like an Art-Deco building, the popular style of the 1930s with its prominent roadside position and its strong advertising images. In this respect, Michelin House is a building twenty years before its time and is also the first of the highly decorated buildings 'built on tyres', as Michelin House was built before Fort Dunlop (1916) and the Firestone Building (1928–1980).
Michelin House has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since April 1969

With very little switching to be done at Michelin, it took no time for L523 to spot the necessary cars and pull the one track. As seen in the second last photo of the stream, the local left Northern Pulp with no cars, so all that the crew had ahold of at this point was what they pulled from Michelin. I shot at this same location last summer, although my view was much closer and tighter. This time I figured I'd include the road sign for the Westville exit to add just a little bit of extra colour to really make this pop. Below the curved girder bridge is Highway 104, the main throughway connecting Truro and Port Hastings.
Mani di Chef | ENRICO BARTOLINI
Devero Restaurant - Cavenago di Brianza (Italy)
[Abstract]
The craft of the Chef is a tiring job that gives moments of dream and extreme sensory and aesthetic pleasure to people. What's behind the evanescent scenes and the classic glossy food photos of dishes on “Michelin” restaurants tables, however, is often not enough known by insiders nor even by the clients of a restaurant in terms of craftsmanship and know-how.
Fascinated from mastery of these taste explorers and from their ability to compose dishes obtained after a long and hard research, I entered in their kitchens on tiptoe. The appearance of the realization of the dishes adds a component of perceptual enjoyment of the creativity of the Chef and allows the viewer to "interact" with the photographs in terms of empathy with the process of implementation of the dishes, as it has been for me that, discreetly, approached the reportage project.

Lo Chef Enrico Bartolini, classe 1979, nativo di Pescia (PT), osannato dai critici gastronomici come uno tra i giovani più talentuosi d’Italia, ha ottenuto a soli 29 anni la sua prima Stella Michelin e a 33 la seconda, riconoscimenti che, con l’ottenimento di una stella Michelin anche a Bergamo e una a Castiglione della Pescaia dopo pochi mesi dall’apertura dei due locali, lo hanno consacrato Chef di livello internazionale.

La galerie des Carrosses du château de Versailles, située dans la Grande Écurie du roi et fermée au public depuis 2007, a ouvert à nouveau ses portes ce 10 mai 2016, grâce au mécénat de la Fondation d’entreprise Michelin. Récemment restaurée, cette collection de carrosses, l’une des plus importantes d’Europe mais encore largement méconnue du public, sera présentée dans un nouvel espace muséographique.
Le 28 mai 1825, Charles X se fait sacrer à Reims, renouant ainsi avec les principes de la monarchie de droit divin. Cette cérémonie grandiose exigeait une voiture exceptionnelle. Dessiné dès 1814 par l’architecte Percier et commencé par le carrossier Duchesne en prévision du sacre de Louis XVIII, cette berline de gala à huit glaces a nécessité l’intervention de nombreux artisans : le sellier-carrossier Daldringen, le menuisier-carrossier Ots, le sculpteur Roguier, les bronziers Denière et Matelin, le peintre Delorme, le peintre-doreur Gautier ou encore le brodeur Delalande.
La voiture, entièrement dorée à la feuille d’or, coûta la somme exorbitante de 325 000 francs ! L’importance et la richesse des bronzes, si pesants, sont tout à fait inhabituelles pour une voiture, même d'apparat.
Le carrosse est attelé à huit chevaux ; les deux de tête sont conduits par le postillon monté sur le cheval de gauche et les six autres tenus en guides par le cocher et en bride par six garçons d'attelage à pied. Car il va au pas, en raison de son poids, du nombre de personnes qu'il transporte (en plus des occupants, quatre valets de pied sur la plate-forme arrière), et surtout de sa fonction : montrer le souverain.
L’intérieur de la voiture comprend quatre places en vis-à-vis. Il est garni de velours de soie cramoisie sur lequel s’enlève un riche décor de broderie et de passementerie en fils d’or et clinquants avec franges, cordons et torsades de fils d’or.

Michelin House was originally built as the Michelin Tyre Company’s UK headquarters, which opened for business in 1911. The building was specially designed by Michelin employee François Espinasse (1880-1925) and was part of the expansion of the Michelin brand across the Channel.
The front of the art deco building was originally a tyre-fitting bay for passing motorists; the building also housed a sales area and a touring office, where motorists could plan their journeys.
The architecture of Michelin House reflected the unique and innovative advertising style that Michelin used to promote its brand and products. Stained glass windows, ceramics, ironwork... everything was worked out down to the last detail to attract the attention of customers and this triumphant installation marked the beginning of a long international expansion.
In 1985, Michelin fully relocated to Stoke, selling Michelin House to publisher Lord Paul Hamlyn and retailer/restaurateur Sir Terence Conran for £8 million. They subsequently extended the building, restoring many of its original features and creating replicas of the windows and cupolas using drawings and photos.
In 1987, Michelin House reopened: a combination of office space, retail outlets – and a restaurant and oyster bar called Bibendum, in homage to the Michelin Man. The chef was Simon Hopkinson and the food was top-notch; it very soon established itself as a fashionable and popular city spot.
