The first day of the rest of my life ...

Housewife of ... pleased.

April 7, I had the great pleasure and honor to be invited to the event organized under the auspices of the formidable team of residents , by Brabantia at the launch of their new range Color Your Bin . The concept is good news, because we offer a personalized accessory oh so essential to our daily lives: the trash.

The famous Dutch brand can now choose the color of your waste receptacle, the imperturbable solidity that made ​​the reputation and slogan Brabantia (Solid Company for short) is of course to the rendezvous.

sauras-tu retrouver la poubelle cachée sur cette image?

will you know find the trash hidden in this picture?

It was a memorable moment as beautiful, dotted with beautiful meetings, under ultra-prestigious of the Mansion Montmartre , an unsuspected place, a haven of beauty and design of the borders of the district that made ​​him famous Amelie Poulain, and where I damn myself to live.

It is not without some amazement that I discovered my garbage, tinted according to my tastes - in perfect incarnation of subversion, I opted for a blue-gray color very clean. With its stainless steel coatings, synthetic base that does not line the floor, opening to touch the scope of a 2 year old (I can confirm with the calm assurance of the experience) and its seal that gladdens the most sensitive senses of smell, she spilled a true wind of fancy on my cook which I do not hide it, in desperate need ...

So if you too dream of a garbage can in your image, reliable and original at the same time, Brabantia will fulfill you in you proposing to make your choice from more than a color chart so. Certainly he will maybe you give up a portion of your budget balances, but you will not regret your investment, Julie faith.

To last a week

sdd_468x60_30ko

Unless you've been living a hermit, away from any form of communication (in this case but I doubt you have access to the World Wide Web ...), it will doubtless have noticed that this first week of the month April is devoted to Sustainable Development, with the key to a imbroglio profusion of events and initiatives designed to make us reflect on our lifestyles, we learn the best practices of consumption that does not deplete more than reason planetary resources.

Far from me to throw myself today in a painstaking analysis of the concepts of ecology, ethical consumption and sustainable development, but all those that the subject does not leave indifferent can count on the Sustainable Living Planet , which, 2 to 5 April the Porte de Versailles in Paris, no offers nothing less than to "find solutions for a better world".

Both say there is plenty to do.

"Planète Durable ® will showcase all offers and initiatives for sustainable development in order to consume more at a time when everyone sharpens their social and environmental awareness"

If I had to pick an object to materialize this fiber ecocitizen that slowly but surely, our society seems to invest, I'd have no hesitation for the bicycle, which embodies much more than just transportation alone a state minded, almost militant commitment - and I say this with much more objectivity that I can barely fit on a bike than I'm strictly ever.

Now therefore, know that the bicycle can continue to serve us well long after I arms rims.

The bicycle lamp is a work of recovery Cyclist designed by Tat Tat, inspired by Swiss designers well, distributed in our region hexagonal with the no less inspired team of PA Design .

Made from the amount, the lighthouse and the pinion gear of Little Queen, which gives it a nice industrial look old, she was obviously found any illustration of the spirit of this week must be sustainable to continue.

It's already tomorrow

The year 1995 is to mark a milestone, not because at that time I passed the tray innocently, but because it was that year that Maison et Objet was born.

But what is it that Maison et Objet?

Well something like that, somehow,

nuage-maison-et-objet
(If you also want to have fun creating your tag clouds, it is here )

and much more ...

Created at the initiative of the Employers' Federation Workshop Arts of France, the Maison et Objet is an international gathering of all industry professionals, and a great forum for ideas and discoveries that inevitably takes its promises to give to see, hear, feel and touch and the latest trends in decor with a capital D, so the art of living, objects, furniture, everything related to near and far habitat and ornament.

Only with this it is enough to make sure you will agree.

But the show is also a talent scout and ideas that rewards the most innovative products on the market ...

In short, we are here before the treasure trove for all those inspired decorative leaves no one indifferent, coupled with an unprecedented mental torture because of his painful label reserve .

Fortunately, if this little privacy forbidden to ordinary people to travel to northern suburbs of Paris to survey every corner of its multiple spaces, it is the promise of attractive moultes grim discoveries that are sure to be relayed by any route known media. Just think, last September's edition of the show has ressembé nearly 70,000 visitors and 3,356 journalists ...

And when it starts, you might say, this rejoicing? Well, not later than tomorrow just imagine. The Parc des Expositions Villepinte will become within a few hours, and until January 27, the hub of international decoration, with the cult of honor Karl Lagerfeld, promoted for the occasion creator of 2009 . Then wait for a bit until you see how new finds of next season, I suggest you subjectively an example of which was recently discovered and enjoyed during the event.

My choice for the uninitiated is focused on the sculptural and revolutionary creations of the French brand Beautiful and Good . More than a lamp, these are real gems that have been proposed, combining advanced technology - the now unavoidable LED, ultra efficient and almost indestructible - and sophistication - a soft look, a simple drawing all rounded and smooth - reinventing our relationship to lighting. I am particularly sensitive to bright parasol , which seems to me very happily replace the services of halogens and broadcast into our living rooms sweetly supernatural atmosphere. And as he works with a charger, its beauty is by no means altered by any wire whatsoever.

I want to take this opportunity to allow me a brief aside lexical: we tend to describe as a biennial event that takes place twice a year. This is false! biennial is an adjective synonymous with biennial, and refers to that which takes place once every two years. In this case, Maison et Objet, whose fairs are held twice a year, therefore comes at a biannual frequency.
