Small, Small, Small

Mimi ... everything is in Anne-Claire Petit

For that I am not -tricoteuse/couseuse/brodeuse, the creations of skilled hands are small miracle. I discovered rather late in the wonderful world of Anne-Claire Petit , who imagine in 10 years (already!) toys and accessories for children but adults of all tastes are in my view legitimate to appropriate ...

Anne-Claire Petit, who made ​​his debut at Spirit , had the idea to imagine pleasing menu items and accessories for children fully realized the hook ... I'm even wondering if it was ultimately not played a pioneering role in the conversion of crafts of all kinds in the embodiment of hip and trend to follow ... It's not for you I will learn it is very fashionable to barter for the gym class sessions initiation to knitting ...

The originality of the process and technique, craft, is twice that of the products, which change slightly from traditional models of rabbits and teddy bears, which are great for all eternity in the firmament of classic baby gifts. Anne-Claire Petit is a world that is bedecked reinvented form of soft toys and decorative accessories: dachshunds, terriers, chimpanzees, elephants, giraffes, but also guitar, flowers, mushrooms, cars ... I password (and best!), it seems that anything, even the most basic of everyday life, a source of inspiration for great creative.

Not content to shine by his imagination, Anne-Claire Petit is distinguished by an ethical approach very interesting. In addition to using, primarily, to organic raw materials, the brand is part of a process of fair trade, employing women from rural communities of Asia, ensuring them an income while preserving their social balance and family.

With a touch of impatience and excitement, I discovered with delight that the spring collection of the brand keeps its promise, with a wider range of styles and colors, and just as exciting news.

In good fan of tea, I always jumped with joy when contemplating these services pretty lifelike colors to always successful.

Tea time !

Tea time!


But this is the cushion-TV that caught my votes (probably the last straw for an anti-television convinced), perhaps because it reproduces more faithfully than any nostalgic antediluvian behemoths that despite my age I have not known myself ....

Quand l'univers canin inspire le design

When the canine universe inspires design

Have you noticed how our four-legged friends inspired the creators of the moment? Whether the bottom of the form or use the reference animal, particularly canine, is constant ...

Naturally, a number of these achievements, though on a revolutionary character, can not not be pleasant, even endearing, even indispensable, like many security blankets spotted according to my wanderings. The company Anima Plush , specializing in the manufacture of ultra realistic stuffed animals, has obviously invested in engaging and reassuring aspect of man's best friend version harmless and gentle furiously. But I have more stuffed animals in front of the cracked hook Dutch designer - his name does not show! - Anne-Claire Petit .
This woman has a veritable menagerie of toys large and small, hand-knitted and organic cotton ... but it seems to have been won by canine fever, and has the merit of proposing models doggies a little different from those encountered usually, such as basset hounds or terriers, all adaptable in different sizes and colors, the wisest to the most psychedelic ...

But the best friend of man inspires far beyond the children's accessories, like the crazy designers of Normann Copenhagen who had the idea of a cable cover my faith quite elegant and clever shaped dog . If the side of ultra functional Woofy - this is his first name - can be left wondering, I personally am not insensitive to the overall design of the object, and the fact that it might come in very useful to get rid of son lying around my house.

To stretch the metaphor to the end canine, impossible to miss what IMHO deserves the gold hot accessory of the moment the most vulgar, I named the Hot Dog Sex Toy Doll that arrival on the market is greeted with a disconcerting bonhomie by the entire press ... Without denying the foundation of this creative invention (?) the brilliant designer Clement Eloy and libido overflowing with Rex, I must say that this strange cross between a greyhound and a wild duck in port evocative does not inspire me beyond measure. But I put this reluctance on behalf of an educational background Lutheran ... No offense to its creators, I remain skeptical about the virtues of the machine on the welfare of Rex, not to mention the doubts Hug Me for its maintenance ... I'll stop here, otherwise I'll have to encrypt.
I am however very excited about another product dedicated, very conventional, perhaps, but the processing seems to simply reinvent the principle of the trash to dodos Medoro. Belgians Sit on it had the bright idea to reinvent the concept to allow us to offer our best friend a tatami which is anything but a heap of hilarious rough fabrics covered with a layer of hair, and cleanliness questionable despite all our efforts. Not only their ottomans are stylish and very simple to maintain as nylon, but also finely staggered through the legend side which gives a touch of humor and whimsy to the mix.
