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.

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.
