Under the theme of “Eco-Chic Lifestyle,” the company will demonstrate how LG’s stylish design supported by technological excellence allows consumers to enjoy their daily lives in modern style.

“LG, once just an electronics manufacturer, is evolving into a lifestyle brand based on a harmony of style and technological excellence. By offering creative solutions for consumers’ everyday lives, LG’s home appliances play a critical role in promoting the core values of our corporate brand,” said Dermot Boden, Chief Marketing Officer of LG Electronics. “To achieve the ultimate goal of enhancing our brand power by emotionally engaging consumers, LG is taking fresh – and even daring – approaches to marketing. LG’s participation in Maison&Objet signifies our new direction as well as LG’s ongoing status as an iconic lifestyle brand.”

LG’s exhibition booth, designed through collaboration with style and trend forecasting agency NellyRodi Trendlab, will feature a variety of themed mini-rooms all under the umbrella banner of “Eco-Chic Lifestyle.” Visitors will have a 20-minute journey through an ideal, ecological home where LG’s stylish-yet-ergonomic appliances create perfect emotional comfort and delight. LG’s show highlights include a series of trendsetting products such as washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, cooking appliances, built-in appliances, TVs and home cinema systems, all connected through its industry-leading HomNet home networking service, all designed to appeal to sophisticated audiences in Europe and beyond.

“LG will fully demonstrate its design excellence though participating at Maison&Objet, the cradle of new design trends, while also establishing itself as an iconic lifestyle brand,” said Caroline Kim, Vice President of Marketing Strategy, LG Electronics Digital Appliance Company. “We are very excited about our collaboration with NellyRodi Trendlab for this exhibition. Our previous collaborations with NellyRodi have led to many successful products, such as our very popular Black series of appliances.”
LG’s booth is located at Stand R2S1 in Hall 5B now! Highlights of LG’s participation at Maison&Objet include:

 Washing Machine Zone – As Clean and Green as Nature
LG has set its latest steam washing machines amidst a forest-like setting at Maison&Objet. LG’s steam washers are widely recognized as much for their energy- and water-efficiency as their washing performance. Moss, ferns, trees and enchanting artificial fireflies help reinforce these washers’ greenness. Some washers will be even redecorated with mirror mosaics to further emphasize this “back to nature” theme.

 Kitchen Room Zone – A Party in the Garden
LG’s Kitchen Room Zone at Maison&Objet feels warm and lively, like in the middle of a garden. With casual dining experiences provided at the booth through cooking demonstrations, visitors will feel like they are having a party in their backyard on a clear, sunny day with close friends. People can also fully experience LG’s stylish kitchen products including built-in appliances, refrigerators and ovens.

 Living Room Zone – Boudoir Style
LG has created a private resting place for its Living Room Zone. This living room can be a one-of-a-kind place for visitors as the room itself responds to their needs and conditions. The color and drape of the room, aroma inside the room and home cinema systems can all be perfectly controlled, right at their fingertips, through LG’s innovative home networking system. The ambiance of the room will give visitors the sense of being inside a lovely flower, or a private boudoir.

 Air Conditioner Zone – Pure and Invigorating
In this zone, a set of five ArtCool air conditioners with changeable front panels will represent one single work of art by showing pieces of photos by internationally well-known wildlife photographers on their front panels: Antarctica by Mitsuaki Iwago and a winter tree by Shin Yoshino. Visitors will find themselves standing in a recreated snowy field, replete with walls completely covered with white faux fur, feeling like they are in very pure, untouched world.

 Gateway - to the Ideal Home
Located at the threshold of LG’s booth, the Viewing Zone symbolizes a gateway to an ideal home made real by LG makes through the exhibition. With six LG6000 Scarlet TVs displaying coordinated visuals, visitors will have a glimpse into the rest of LG’s creative exhibition at Maison&Objet.

At the LG’s booth during Maison&Objet exhibition, a cooking demonstration will take place four times a day, offering special dishes cooked by a professional chef from Potel et Chabot using LG’s light wave SolarCUBE oven. In addition, LG will offer a trendy water bar and rest area for special guests, including visiting journalists, to further enhance the experience of enjoying a modern lifestyle with a sense of nature and peace of mind.

Maison&Objet, founded in 1995, is one of the world’s biggest and most influential international exhibitions on home style and interior trends. The exhibition is held in Paris-Nord Villepinte, on the outskirts of Paris, two times a year, in January and September.

Case in point: Making it Lovely's Nicole shared her office recently, and my eye gravitated immediately to her Mac and the art on her desktop, the colors of which coordinate with the dominant pinks and reds of her office space.

I too enjoy a pretty, serene wallpaper as the setting for the madness that takes place on top of it; right now I can't seem to shake the Kaiku Marimekko pattern. Other times, I want to see a family pic stretched across my monitor, and sometimes I crave a simple, solid color to calm me. And I am not opposed to a really high-res photo of a flower (shoot, I am a girl).

But I'm curious about everyone else, since I think your computer's desktop wallpaper says a lot about you; What's yours?

Here's a design concept that shows some unusual thinking on the part of its creator, Chris Natt: What if you fitted a smart lamp with petals that open and close like a flower? The result is Stimuli 3.0, a shape-shifting device that measures ambient light and adjusts its illumination accordingly, using a three-axis gearbox.

This is one oddball lamp, one that would go well in an environment designed to perplex and amuse its inhabitants. It might be even better teamed up with some energy-saving LED bulbs. If Chris can actually mass produce this fascinating prototype in a reasonably priced form that doesn't make startling gear-grinding noises, he might have a hit on his hands.

Everyone knows just how fun Super Mario and his cohort can get, and these bouncy balls will definitely make life a wee bit brighter. Traditional power ups like the 1Up mushroom and the Fire Flower are old favorites that everyone knows and love, but in Super Mario Galaxy, one gets a whole range of new power ups which can now be collected in a form factor that is somewhat similar to those found in the game - high-bounce super balls. Each purchase contains a random power up inside, ranging from the Fire Flower to the Ice Flower, Bee Mushroom, Spring Mushroom, 1Up Mushroom, Boo Mushroom, Life Shroom or Power Star.

Heat Resistant Lego Lamp!

Check out this neat lamp you can rearrange to fit your home design with special heat-treated lego blocks.

The block light is an amazing light that lets you change its appearance to anything you like. The limitation is only that of your imagination, so it’s a perfect item for anyone that considers themselves a bit arty. For example, our main picture depicts, ‘the struggle of an ancient pyramid builder and his battle with verigo through the medium of lego’!

But lo and behold, the first booth I step into had these great handmade robot ceramic cups.

Robot Ceramic Mugs by Soda by Amy

Designed by artist Amy Allison of Soda by Amy, each porcelain robot vessel features the likeness of a robot man, woman or child. Since each one is hand built, they’re all slightly different shapes, sizes and textures. Thanks to their simple design, you can use ‘em for sipping coffee, organizing pens and pencils or as a flower vase. And yes, they’re lead free and dishwasher safe, so drink up!

Amy’s robot cups range in price from $16 to $20 each. While they’re not shown on the Soda by Amy Etsy shop at present, I’m sure she’ll be happy to accept your orders if you drop her a message. Think of it as a secret club that only we know about.

However you feel about Juicy Couture — I have some choice words for this laptop bag, and you guys also had some about this one. One thing is certain: They're relentless! No amount of criticism that their stuff is too saccharine or, uh, pink will stop them from making stuff like this Sweet Couture Mouse and Mousepad ($45).I have a toothache just looking at this, but perhaps you have just redone your home office area into a pink heart and flower sanctuary.

Weigh in!

Fire!] ]]> http://mobileratty.com/article/1bfb0d8a308ce05f470a2f9aeac24a9c http://mobileratty.com/article/1bfb0d8a308ce05f470a2f9aeac24a9c Fire extinguishers are damn handy, but hard to get excited about—unless they're cool flying ones—but these flower extinguishers from Japan should be weird enough to pique your interest. They're magnetic, so you just whack them on a convenient surface, like the front of your fridge. And if you're unlucky enough to get an oil fire on your cooking range, then you simply grab the flowers and fling them into the fire. You're probably thinking "Fighting fire with flowers? WTF?" right now. The flowers work by melting to create a film over the surface of the burning oil, cutting off its air supply and extinguishing the fire. See the video of them in action if you don't believe it.

Neat hey? If not a little bizarre. They come in yellow or pink, disguised to look like silk flowers, last 2 years before you have to replace them (assuming you don't set fire to your kitchen in that interval) and are available for $39 for two. [Kilian-Nakamura via Random Good Stuff]
