Ibride

Ibride is a French brand which has the wind in their sails as much as it is aptly named, she pays tribute to the animal race, especially with its collection of furniture design in the form of bestiary.

Although not necessarily a fervent amateur of mixing genres - it was a little too apt to remember hunting trophies - I'm not at least admiring the success of these creations that pass the bet to reproduce with astonishing acuity lines of live animals on which they build while offering practical and stylish furniture, adaptable to almost any interior.

These harmless mammals plywood will certainly be delighted to welcome all the image-makers of our little ones, unless we prefer to do their book the "exclusivity of our Pleiades.

Extensive back office for studious ...

Answer

There you will have noticed that back in full swing, and for those most concerned, homework time has already sounded ...

Since there was a large child before the Lord, I am always full of affection for the first desks of our children, those on which they will learn their tables and poems.

Is it because I have always been an unfortunate tendency to spread myself, and my workspace always seems too narrow cluttered with useless trinkets and small papers ? I would in any case, at the age of reason, loved doing my homework on the Office Caspar home Perludi .

I often can not resist the charm of raw wood, and when he joins a simple and elegant design, I melt completely!
Large, robust and very practical with its wide open locker, the office is also very smart, since it can grow with the child, and even losing in modulating the feet - that are reminiscent, version big size, of pencils.

Decidedly, childhood is a delightful country - even when school gets involved!

I do not teach you anything by saying that the decoration of the rooms of children on the rise, and that brands compete inventiveness and talent to offer us much furniture and accessories as fun and practical, specially designed to please our little ones and more to their ancestors .

To leave a bit of thematic certainly charming, but a bit overused, princesses, jungle animals and other pirates, you can count on the German brand Standby Niermann , who offers us with his lamp Jumbo daydream a little above the dry land.

This fun suspension to round forms and naive smile reminds me of an unlikely cross between the plane of my childhood Fisher Price (in their thirties will understand me) and Boumbo automotive (-bile-bile). Original, but not excessive, it will bring its touch of poetry to all aspiring pilots!

Exciting ...!

Here's been a while since I wanted to introduce Muriel, blogger emeritus as well as talented.

She was one of my first "blog friends", and above all a source of inspiration and rapture unceasingly renewed ...

Since then, Muriel launched its boutique games, toys and accessories for the holidays. She kindly agreed to take some of his precious time to answer my questions and tell you more about her and her site (visit to an emergency!)

When did you decide to embark on the adventure you? the decision did she not been too difficult? Have you had moments of doubt?

After 14 years as an engineer in the telecom industry, I felt like going around the issue and I wanted to combine my lifelong passion for the world of children with a professional activity. The opportunity arose to leave my job before me and have a period to prepare this project.

Obviously, this great leap in the dark was not easy to decide, and I had a few puffs of anxiety. But I think I had any regrets in my life not to have tried, the future will tell me if I was right or not.

An initial assessment?

After a little over 6 months of activity, I realize that this is an exciting new adventure. Thanks to Penguin space, I had meetings fantastic illustrators and creative talent, and also very charming customers!

The figures remain confidential for the time-defense, but with over 400 references and over 400 customers, I'm glad I did start!

Meanwhile, you continue to feed your brilliant blog, how do you find time and inspiration?

The inspiration is not a concern, I walk a lot on the net and I keep my eyes open. The time for cons is a commodity that is scarce, so I work a lot and I sleep (too)!

  2. icing sugar with a little water or lemon juice

There is some furniture whose name alone is enough to exhale a perfume Gentillet outdated: take the buffet, or dresser, do not he come straight to the top of a chest image campaign firmly planted on his four feet, also robust than reluctant to design jokes?

The Italian manufacturer Seletti would tread the smell of disuse, with its convenient playful Trip, which combine the classical form of the audacity of graphics and color.

The multi-colored version, with stripes or dots , can do wonders in a child's room ...

The convenient Map , for it will find its place in contemporary interiors, with lines showing the outline of North American cities.

And for those a little visual joke does not stop, the release houndstooth is ideal!

But ... no reason to depress! Certainly, the playgrounds of our children will regain normal size and attendance, most of us city dwellers who practice diligently squares swarming with excited toddlers popular with our municipalities some Wednesdays between September and June will know what I mean ...

Despite all their flaws, I personally always loved children's games, I even have a preference, not for the most convoluted routes traction, but for the most "basic" of them, those that cross decades almost without a wrinkle, like the good old rocking animal, you know, the elephant (the fish, rabbit, teddy bears ...) mounted on a large spring, and that has earned generations of all- small to learn to tumble gently.

Naively, I imagined that the unfortunate offspring with a garden at home were de facto excluded from such simple pleasures, for the simple reason that these specialized equipment could obviously only be reserved as public land and professionals early childhood ...

It was no understanding Legler . The German manufacturer offers a nice selection of outdoor toys and games that makes us want to back to childhood ... and of course an elephant rocking as promised, I will install in the garden the day I have a house .
