An example for everyone, the collection of bath dresses Pastry Chef by Jacky Litellier, Made so that the towels were rolled up on the ball like puff pastry flanked by fruit like small ovens, to transform a simple sponge square into an irresistible gift.

A very simple idea that the brushes, without ever reaching them, the limits of the kitsch to translate it into a concept of captivating gluttonous product, but also in an ambitious project, falling in a complete merchandising system, which provides the exhibition of sponge cakes on ice cream, ice cream and their sale of hostesses in a crazy uniform.

When it comes from Boffi brothersThe irony, on the other hand, takes the form of a distorted armchair, to the point of becoming a throne and covered with a pink velvet to highlight its caricatured aspect but also its great elegance, all presented in a thin and symbolic game of balance that reflects.

The irony was also displayed on the stand Refugewhich already from the entrance warns us of its fun properties, with an open hinge with malice as access to the internal parts. Like a big screen of small wonders, the installation is perfected with care and attention by its creator François Bernard, Which managed to combine play and atmosphere in a Wunderkammer complex, made up of small funny discoveries and serious reflection lines.

Color, as usual, even in an avant -garde of this trend, such as Agatha Ruiz de la Prada which has always been synonymous with audacity without compromise in the use of strong colors, but also in the proposals of traditionally more prudent companies Harvest Which continues his colorful update of the ancient art of lacquering more convinced, it has begun that there are some collections and now they become the very counterfeit distinctive sign of the house in the panorama of the reprint producers of old furniture.

The visit of Home stay and objects It is always an opportunity to reflect on the orientation of creativity and its role in our daily life, and this time, getting out of this edition barely finished is a bit like finishing reading a dense manual and as if we had to react to the small liveliness of our modern times, finding behind the spirit and thirst for novelty whose man is lucky is never satisfied.
