Whenever the rich and famous are in Paris, they head for the city's most beautiful square, the Place Vendôme, and the two elegant streets leading to it-- the Rue de la Paix and the Rue de Castiglione. In this delightful book, a veritable paean to conspicuous consumption, Alexis Gregory reconstructs a wonderfully rich and varied tapestry of the changing life of the Place Vendôme, originally conceived by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, First Architect to the Sun King Louis XIV, as a tribute to the monarch.

In text and photographs, Paris Deluxe traces the history of the Place Vendôme, from the square's beginnings as a high-risk property speculation, to its life in the twentieth century as Paris's center of fashion, jewelry, high finance, and art, a playground for international society that converges at the Paris Ritz, undoubtedly still the most elegant, expensive, and comfortable hotel in the world. The cast of extraordinary personalities who have left their marks on the square covers the spectrum from fashion and jewelry-- names like Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, Frederic Worth, Cartier, Boucheron-- to financiers J.P. Morgan and John Law, and every prominent name in art and high society-- Edward, Prince of Wales, the Vanderbilts, Baroness Guy de Rothschild, Lillie Langtry, René Lalique and the Crozats, whose art collection was bought by Diderot for Catherine the Great.

The presence of tycoons and crooks, dealers and collectors, couturiers and fashion plates, jewelers and their royal clients, politicians, Russian Grand Dukes, Indian Maharajas, and celebrities from movie stars to Ernest Hemingway has lent the Place Vendôme an ineffable aura. This luxuriously illustrated and evocatively written book will be cherished by every sybarite, francophile, and person of fashion.

Definitely pick one up!
Color: Black Walnut, Color: Black Walnut
This stand looks great, the material has a nice finish, and the quality is really good. It holds two MacBooks very comfortably. It doesn’t take up much space and has a good weight to it so it will not move easily. Great buy!

Finally a dual vertical stand with a stable build, quality materials, and snug fit for MacBook Pro
Color: Black Walnut, Color: Black Walnut
I don’t normally write reviews but I’ve had so much trouble finding an adequate vertical stand for two MacBook Pros that doesn’t worry me every time I look at it. I can finally say with confidence that I won’t need to replace this one. Not only is this stand attractive, it is simply a lot more sturdy than the all-metal “industrial” stand that it will replace because my MacBooks fit into it without wobbling, it has a wide surface area base, and its overall fairly heavy due to a solid wood + solid metal build. This vertical stand stands apart in the two areas that my previous two stands have failed at: 1. A snug fit with a protective lining so that the laptops don’t wobble and bump into each other (the dual Omoton I have suffers from this terribly where the laptops bump and lean against one another) 2. A solid base with enough weight to prevent the stand from tipping over from an accidental bump (my single-laptop human centric mount is beautiful, but the base is too light and narrow so that any decent contact feels that it might tip over) This stand has a very solid build quality with a nice weight to it which is comforting when potentially storing two expensive pieces of hardware in a vertical orientation that lends to tipping over (MacBook Pros are absurdly well over $2k a piece now on average). This is now the third vertical stand I’ve purchased for my two MacBook pros (work & personal). It’s not my third because I compulsively purchase things I don’t need (though I do do that), but rather because the previous two models felt unstable and carried a greater risk of damaging a few thousand dollars in equipment. Anyway, this is my first purchase from this brand but I highly recommend!

Perfect for laptops, tablets, Remarkables, Kindles - you name it! This dock is perfect!
Color: Black Walnut, Color: Black Walnut
Coming across UPERGO has been a blessing. To find items of this caliber without having to pay a mortgage payment on it is a lifesaver. It truly is, and I have found that based on my desk setups in my office, UPERGO has not let me down with any of their products. I had already previously owned a UPERGO Vertical Laptop stand. I use that one for my productivity desk for my work laptop and my personal gaming laptop. So, I knew its quality was legitimately top notch already. The problem I ran into was a workflow issue. I have four portable devices that I carry every day at some point: Microsoft Surface Pro 13", Remarkable Paper Pro, Remarkable Paper Pro Move, and a Kindle Colorsoft. The problem is that I did not want to keep them inside the desk drawer that I use. So, I need something to help save some space on my desk and sort of dock these items when there were not in use. I set one on each opposite side of my desk and that worked out perfectly. I was able to save desk space but also add a bit of protection for these devices. I could adjust the slots, if needed, but it worked out just fine. And the material inside gripped these devices perfectly. Once again, UPERGO has been able to build a product that fit ideally into my use-case. This time, albeit in a slightly different manner, but it was exactly what I was looking for.
