100% VIP (P)

It's summer, between torpor and holidays, I feel a duty to offer a little culture by launching a large deco edutainment series:

"You also discover the story behind a brand."

Today, let's look at the brand Vipp , a happiness of Danish Scandinavian design roots well anchored ... Did you know that this prestige brand (if you do not believe me I'll leave the price of sifting) was his existence to a single hair salon?

Not?

Owl, you lie down with the feeling of having earned your day!

The purpose of Vipp lighthouse, one by which awareness comes, it's trash , gold, said bin was invented the day or Madam Vipp, a hairdresser by trade, solicited a metallurgist husband to the dustbin of manufactures teaches his future.

    [The scene takes place in Denmark in 1939]

    [Mrs Vipp (whose real name is Marie Nielsen)] - "Tell me Holger, where she is this garbage? How do you want me to have a customer if the ground remains of the store is covered with hair?

    [Mr. Holger Nielsen Vipp alias] - (It annoys me with his stories of trash, I'm milling my turner, not Gyro Gearloose ...) [aloud] I'm working my angel, I'm working! ...

(Author's note: the context and the dialogues are purely fictional. Any resemblance to existing facts or dead is purely coincidental.)

The bin in question was an immediate success and overwhelming to customers, marking the beginning of success and fame for Mr. Nielsen and his creation he named "Vipp", Danish verb meaning "switch" in reference to the mechanism foot.

The factory is growing, but the pattern changes little, keeping at heart to preserve square lines softened by rounded corners ...

His second commercial success, the Vipp is the youngest daughter of Nielsen, who took over the business upon the death of Mr, and decided to offer the bins to individuals - so far, only professionals had access.

Today, there is no stopping the brand after the launch of his collection of linens in 2006 - cotton towels and bamboo fiber - these are the accessories for the bathroom that have the wind in its sails ... The design is characteristic, but the palette (including graphics) is diversifying, and it is likely that the small Danish brand will bring more surprises for next season ...

Would I be the victim of a curse health? it is unconsciously the latest posts to date are devoted to a common theme :)

des poubelles qui inspirent

bins that inspire

What is frustrating to be with the everyday world of design is to detect quickly enough that without enough available stock, place or just need real, the thousand and one inventions frisky fashion objects remain largely elusive. For example, I recently took the full measure of functional beauty bins Brabantia , especially models Touch Bin from which are constantly making me look with profound contempt my ridiculous plastic trash. Unfortunately for me, it is still in perfect condition, and I'm not so violent that I come a deadly drive for it. But what a fright when I see it, with its lid to grow naturally permeable to all odors and waste tights. And to think I was so happy when it was acquired, for the first time, I had the feeling of being in possession of a suitable receptacle, large (30 liters!) Cylindrical, finally sober, which made me go in the course of the great offering me to indulge in endless considerations on different brands of trash bags and not to keep me abreast of plastic bags which I try also to make use of smaller , false good environmental conscience requires.

So it is with unconcealed joy that I can now fill this gap by measuring all the necessity to have a bathroom trash can . As this is an accessory which is still lacking, I did not hesitate any longer.

This light note, however, conceals a real inner torment for amateur interior maintenance I am. Do not get me wrong, I obviously more projects in life than living in the household and detergents, but like many, I have a little tendency to fussiness for matters relating to cleanliness, although I claim to be blameless in this regard. Going back to my torments household - joining some difficulties in my rational storage of all my store - I would dream of renewing all that can fully participate in household hygiene

Same cause and same effects with regard to the laundry ... I did not complain since I recently acquired a laundry basket quite lovely wood and fabric that would be perfect if the quality of fabrication for fantastical did relax the seams to make it look like its contents: a pile of clothes in despair. I have an idea of doubling the basic basket of a second, stronger probably - it's not just Brabantia in life, aim a little model Vipp minimalist design perfect ...

this is not a thermos

And ... to propose a new destiny by turning it into basket for ironing clothes ... because it's nice to be able to hide its dirty laundry, it is still necessary to do the same once the clean, dry cloth, everyone not lucky enough to have a cleaning lady.

Despite a sometimes inadequate equipment, I try to keep my home free of dirt. I give you some bonus tips for effective cleaning without being too aggressive for the environment: white vinegar (a classic) to polish the chrome and remove limestone, and baking soda to whiten the enamel. All the subtlety lies in the fact of depositing the powder in a thick layer and leave on for fifteen minutes before scrubbing and rinsing. Miraculous results guaranteed! And dust, adopt glycerin: soak the cloth with a few drops of this liquid slightly viscous, the dust is captured by the cloth and your furniture will shine brightly. If you have any cleaning tips or suggestions for essential maintenance, please leave them in comments!

Deep purple

Having always had a fondness for all variations of the chromatic scale between violet and lilac, I tend to rejoice in the awareness of current fashion for these colors too often denigrated ... sometimes with a touch of nostalgia for the days when these penetrating tones were still confidential, even when I had the illusion of being among the happy few holding the innate good sense of taste and elegance :)
Have you noticed that after clothing, purple invades the entire sectors with some way related to the ornament - I choose that word deliberately a little precious is vague enough to affect a plethora of areas -? This is so true in fact that even the potato vitelotte purplish blue that shines not necessarily its flavor is increasingly present even in supermarkets - cf. the radius of chips most of the signs.

Now I feel like a kid in a toy store, the tendency would allow me to offer almost to my apartment a total look under the sign of purple.
In the kitchen and tableware, the young brand Fools dinette is to the page and offers a full range of accessories and kitchen textiles where the purple is in the spotlight ... not to mention the inventiveness with which she revisits plates and dishes where a frolicking menagerie of silhouettes very clean lines that accomplish an original table, both mismatched and elegant. I'd love to combine these different reasons for a meal on the theme of exoticism or plant! And ... to involve transparent purple calyxes of the latest collection ... Cristal d'Arques this range neobaroque this behemoth of glass also allows me to revise my judgment on the character a bit hackneyed of Cristal d'Arques j ... 'had a memory of kitsch prégnant twisting commercials of my childhood, mea culpa.
Even the toilets open to the nobility purple. The manufacturer Vipp declines recently its models. Also a very pleasant coloring of step cans features a range of derivative products has emerged. I find the range violet particularly successful with almost fluorescent colors that will brighten up an important piece for the home and our reputation.

In a less accessory, I notice that purple may invest more substantial dimensions, chairs, ottomans and sofas for example. Belgian designers to Sit on It are very creative in this field with several ranges of microbeads cushions that are miles away from the horrible puff pear decades past - this is a personal experience, but I still remember the inheritance of a black ottoman pear whose seams were cracking around and released a spurt of microbeads that spread throughout the apartment. It was fun after all, but much less sympathetic in terms of household, years later, I still find in the vacuum cleaner. Since then I've designed a holy hatred of this kind of pouf. Sit on it with the problem of the fountain of pearls arises less, the seams were reduced to a trickle. Perfectly adaptable to the shape of the body, these cushions are in order for all occasions, and of course, Sit on It had the good idea of ​​the decline in a pretty mauve color purple.
At Nanimarquina also, purple is in the spotlight. I've said all the good that I thought of this great Spanish designer and his approach resolutely ethical and fair, bis repetitas therefore, as not merely make beautiful carpets, Nanimarquina also designs accessories irresistible, like the cushions parallelepiped Zoom or poufs Tomato in the evocative shape. If they come in many colors, I melt naturally to models purple mats, which I think give real depth together with an invitation to pleasure of life.

The list could, and it is not that she does not get longer. But as fans of other colors to worry, I'm not exclusive, other colors will come.
