Déjà entendu parler de Chez VLC, un concept store "frenchy" dont la mission est de proposer du beau et du bien fait? Virginie, aux commandes de ce joli shop, sélectionne avec un oeil averti des objets déco, des accessoires de mode ou du quotidien, avec toujours le désir d'offrir une sélection de produits bien faits, et de qualité, par des fabricants, créateurs ou artisans passionnés par ce qu'il font. Et cette passion du beau et du bien fait se ressent vraiment quand on visite cet e-shop.  Chez VLC, c'est une sélection d'articles pour soi-même ou pour son "chez-soi" qui font plaisir aux yeux et à l'ame - même le mini-balai/ époussette me donne envie de faire le ménage, c'est pour vous dire!

How many times have you wished the cord was just a little bit longer? Meysam Movahedi has obviously wished it enough times to consider solving the problem through clever design. Movahedi created and intelligent alternative of the traditional extension cords, which practically eliminates the need for them.
The Rambler Socket is an electrical socket with a built in 1.5 m (59 inch) long extension cord hidden in the wall. You can simply pull it out whenever you need it – in any length that you need. When it’s out, a gentle tug will activate retraction mechanism and the cord will hide itself back in the wall.

Designed by Patrick Morris while he was a student at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, in London, the Sky Planter was originally produced by his New Zealand-based company, Boskke, out of porcelain, but now they’re available in recycled plastic.

A porous reservoir--refillable through a hole at the top--delivers just the right amount of water through diffusion. That means that most of the water reaches the plant roots directly, reducing evaporation and conserving water.  Plants that adapt exceptionally well to the system, including geraniums, orchids, and a variety of herbs. Available online here.
