My name is Anne Hubert I am the founder and designer of La Cerise Sur Le Gateau, which has existed Since 2005, I create quirky and poetic collections of bed linen and accessories for the home. My collections are appreciated for their use of playful, nostalgic imagery and fluorescent colours.
I collect… I collect things that attract my attention. Certain objects… like at flea markets I always buy souvenir spoons. When I travel I always buy a tube of toothpaste from the country I’m in! I have a whole shelf full of little figurines, little bambis and things like that. And black and white photos from photo cabins.
I cant live without… moving around and being curious…
My guilty pleasure is… to take off at a minute’s notice and treat myself to something special.
Our house is filled with… a curious mix of things from flea markets, things we’ve made ourselves, some designer pieces, books and souvenirs from travelling.
I treasure my… souvenirs from my travels.
Right now I can’t stop thinking about… my new online store, which has just opened. I’m so excited about it!
Currently I am reading… Zakuro by Aki Shimazaki.
My favourite item of clothing is… I spoilt myself and bought my first Dries Van Noten shirt during the sales. I love it. And the denim skirt I bought in Brazil 5 years.
At the top of my furniture wish list is… We want to make a massive cube in wood, open at the sides, that we will put on wheels – that is 2 metres squared. In which we will put a mattress and lots cushions, as a chill out area in our living room – to read and relax [we live in a refurbished industrial space].
The last thing that really inspired me was… I have lots of different sources of inspiration, for example, the inspiration of the Moustache cushion in my new collection came to me while rummaging in a flea market and finding a game for kids….
My comfort food is… vegetable soups with big bits of fresh veg! My mum used to cook it for me when I was ill, it comforts me still…
On my desk are/is… A big mess! Every night I tidy up and the next day it’s a mess again.
This weekend I will… go walking in the mountains with snow-shoes near my home in Alsace [East of France]
Tonight I must… write in my beautiful new diary.
I love what I do because… it’s so diverse. Managing La Cerise sur le Gâteau involves doing many different jobs, with different skills. It’s great fun. I also put a lot of myself into my creations, so my work is always very close to me.
