There is a vague association with France with these items. One of the owners and creators of the brand Sarut apparently spent ten years of his life there. I say that's plenty good to feature here. He had to have been inspired by France, or at least somewhat impacted by the experience, wouldn't he?
Definitely not for the color-shy, Sarut's line of home décor, houseware, kitchenware and even furniture, combines often classic shapes with unbridled themes and patterns. But I think what speaks to me is the glossy, airbrush feel of the design. It makes me whan to put my finerprints all over it. I've seen a lot of their smaller objects in boutiques around L.A, but the website sells everything retail so take your pick.
I have a weak spot for the heart toaster. How about you?
On second thought, I'll go for the thermos.





























I love this line! I have been coveting one of these toasters for years! Only the French could come up with such a colorful and refreshing alternative to the boring stainless steel model that's so pervasive in American homes. When I wanted to purchase this for my kitchen, I was told that these were "circus colors" by a close relation who shall remain nameless....I say then, "long live circus colors and French style!" I am going to get one, hang the opposition!

Annechovie: Let's live dangerously, I agree.
Youpigirl: aha! Un travail superbe de detective! A vrais dire je ne sais pas. La website de sarut parle des createurs: http://www.thesarutgroup.com/infosarut.php?. Ceci dit Pylone semble avoir des choses differentes, par exemple un toaster mirifique et japonisant que j'adore. Au fait, dois-je t'apeller muriel or youpitouch?
