Who is Nanthida Bernardeau and where did that quote come from?
During the Summer of 1946, a young, adventurous woman, with chestnut colored hair, made her way through Northern Europe. Upon her travels, she collected an array of small baubles, jewels, gadgets & potions. She kept arduous notes on things that interested her along the way: from physics to art to gastronomy, her diaries were bursting with photographs, sketches, small snippets of twine. Her favorite fruit became a kumquat, and she found great pleasure & humor in making random comparisons to the petite, orange fortunella. Nanthida and her adventures were introduced to us while renovating and re-designing Small Plates.
