waiting for godot

dear fellows... finally my new homepage is ready. it's as small and cute as the shop. please click at the link leboudoir.ch on the left and visit!

mauerflower

pretty like this? we want!

c'est dans la boîte

raw silk - soft touch. for the princess and the pea-ish jewellery. made in zurich.

the princess and the pea

for some there just can't be enough cushions. especially when there are so many colours and stripes to choose from. cushions are the very important accessory between christmas and new year. indispensible for soft landings.

lucky strike

some have had the brilliant idea to be born just before christmas. and some were stupid enough to make them their love interest! as if it weren't difficult enough to find just one present at the time. of course, this could never happen to me. and i never run out of ideas. but i do commiserate.

magic formula

so you're going down that road again: christmas drawing closer and you still haven't got a clue what to offer your better half. moreover, you're due watching the child's christmas play (which you missed last year, because of last minute present hunting), you still have a hangover of yesterday's office party and the city is crowded with panic-stricken hords. Lean back and order a gift token which is pretty enough to save you if teamed with the finest Sprüngli chocolates. cushion impact.

the messenger

you can entrust this swift antler of an enchanted forest to bring your family and friends your best wishes for christmas and new year. other messengers available.

wild thing... you make my heart sing

why all the panic?

it's so easy to find your sweetheart a
present that will really make her happy.
Don't offer her a machine, don't offer her
a telescope. offer her something that has
no other function than to make her more
beautiful, to make her skin shine and her
eyes glisten. you needn't buy a diamond,
just a piece of jewellery that will really
surprise her. take a risk!

you needn't be very clever to find out
this is really as much a gift to yourself
as to her...

the good life

nothing beats candlelight to snuggle up in style during long december nights and to celebrate the festive season. made in switzerland.

graphic grace

with these magnetic frames there's a way to keep family peace when your mother-in-law comes for a visit: put one/two photos of her, then take them all out again the minute she's left... she'll do exactly the same when you come. an inspired buy.

a fine romance

who needs the perfect match when combining is much more interesting? here japan meets italy and the uk, wood meets plastic meets glass, clean lines meet curves, colours contrast and balance. playing is just what the doctor ordered.

see clearly

if you're tired of going up and down with wallstreet, why not make a safe investment in this beautiful acrylic vase. it doesn't cost a grand and will last you a lifetime. plus, if your house is broken into, this piece will not elope with the first come burglar. chf 274.- deserves AAA rating. made in switzerland.

just give me the light

here comes another space invader: small but bling-bling. thanks to the strong magnet it clings to a fridge,
a radiator or even a strategically
placed drawing pin. for instant glamour anywhere. best take two for symmetry.

wrap it up

maybe it's not official, but this is the world's prettiest wrapping paper. i shouldn't be saying this but the packaging is nearly half the rent when it comes to presents. what's there to add? 5m on a roll.

boy or girl?

is it a boy or a girl? with this practical pendulum you will find out in a sec. plus it doubles purpose if worn around the neck, it might well attract attention of the opposite gender. (or perhaps it was the other way round with the attraction and the babies?)

spice of life

these porcelain containers team luxury with restraint and might be an idea for aesthetes. you can even put them in the dish-washer! now also available in grey and black. makes you want to start a collection.

handmade in zurich!

das gelbe vom ei

the party season is coming with brunzli allover the office and one apero chasing the next. no wonder we can't bother for a chef's menu when we collapse at home in the evening. how delicious can just one egg be?

neat and pleasing

when i see this picture (thanks, magazine) i start to wonder if one should care to iron things like t-towels and knickers after all... these lovely french t-towels are available as well as more cheeky ones. but more on this subject on another day.

ionas

i don't know if this is a passing fancy, but for quite a while now i find that mobiles are actually cool (or cute). not only that, they may also captivate a baby's attention when changing nappies. some might say a life-saver (especially as it doesn't even hurt if you hit the mobile with your head).

mad about the bowl

combine beauty with sustainable ressource and you get these lacquered bamboo salad bowls. in lime, kiwi, mandarin, tomato, white and purple. also available: small bowls and vases.

ali baba's cave

much to my regret i don't have enough room to put these lamps on display in the shop, but now you know there's a treasure in my cellar

clear idea

pine needles of advent wreaths have a wonderful smell, especially when burning... (how does plexy smell when it melts?) but no argument on safety intended here. a chandelier is a luxury which we deserve in december, be it the one handed down from your granny, a flea market find or this modern take in acryl which looks fantastic on dark wood. which would look even better in coexistence with rough dark wood.
