Taping

Ahh, the stickers, which some - of the French language purists - qualify adhesives, passion of all lovers of decoration on the lookout for any trends. I am fascinated by the growing popularity of these small accessories rise in recent years. It's simple, stylized stickers become an almost must-have for any self-respecting interior.
Personally, I remain cautious, like many, I am not insensible to the charms of these shimmering patterns that have the advantage of introducing some depth in rooms too white and austere ... but I did not venture to see a revolution in decorative spirit, especially as I still think they are a privileged place in spaces childish. Probably a matter of taste.
If I push the discussion a little further, I think I'm a little embarrassed by the flatness of these trappings smooth ... a little too wise, too good to be true.
A model however does not leave me indifferent: adhesives for imitation dome ceiling , a rather charming fantasy that would satisfy all those who despair of living in a difficult affordable "floor-trim-stack".

Designed by the very talented graphic designer and international Sofia Antonovich, these vinyl stickers adjustable seyants wish to have the good taste of the delicacy and elegance to just cross the sobriety and proliferation.

Sofia Antonovich's imagination seems not to know the anxiety of the blank page, she designed several years tirelessly stickers for almost any room in the house, the more abstract to more figurative: silhouettes, trompe l'oeil flowers, borders ... everything goes, and it is not the only one on the niche.
On a slightly different, the group formed by Catherine Cocobohème Fouchard and Christian Mégevand has redesigned the concept of blackboard by imagining slate reminder stickers in the shape of animals or plants whose crisp silhouettes can not remain indifferent. Pleasant and functional, they have a je ne sais quoi of naive sweetness that probably explains quite a successful product of consensus.
Far more subversive, the Domestic group is oriented in a more radical aesthetic halfway between neorealism and the style comics. In this context, the artist Genevieve Gauckler has developed a series of spooky and mysterious monsters nice chaps to decorate children's rooms, which tend to scare me, but that really thick, precisely because of they look strange and unexpected.

One thing is certain, for fans of the genre, happiness is here to stay.

Nani Marquina ou la douceur de vivre

Nani Marquina or the sweet life

Generally, the carpet does inspire me much. Real factories hair and dust, crumbs in nurseries - you noticed that the more we yearn and shake, the more they seem to abound in delightful surprises? - They are also the preferred containers of all kinds of liquids, preferably sticky ...
They find little favor with me over at their ornamental effect, more like the inevitable moment that kitsch object of essential decorative ... But the Spanish designer Nani Marquina confronts me with through all these a priori. The first shock for the skeptic that I am: for the first time, these rugs me the effect of an unusual aesthetic grace. Beautiful or sublime, they embody in themselves the good taste and softness that we aspire to - I imagine - all. Second shock: beyond this success, I discovered the commitment of Nani Marquina and society against child labor and its regular participation in cooperative programs regulated that is often translated by the term "sustainable development" . If inventions are numerous and all the more refined than the others, the investment is in turn radically citizen. Nanimarquina creations are handmade, including India and Pakistan, thus encouraging local economic activity and promoting de facto techniques and skills deemed - I'm not too fond of the carpet, I am aware Weaver's legacy and reputation in a certain region of the world in this field.
I enjoyed the series almost three-dimensional Little Field of Flowers, colors that can recall the four seasons, especially with its charming grounds sewn shaped leaves and flowers. A very original creation I also liked that a carpet made from recycled bicycle tire ... An original approach!
Will I be on the road to reconciliation with the rest of us? Anyway, I already found a brand to watch and admire, hoping that new collections are in the pipeline.
