Ultrasonic baths, pressure-sensitive goggles, or mirrors to see if you're looking good ... Google filed a patent at the US Patent and Trademark Office in late July for innovations related to the connected bathroom. A space whose functionalities are not limited only to hygiene but also to the health of their occupants. Used together, these connected objects would track the evolution of the cardiovascular, nervous, endocrine, muscle and integumentary systems of their owner, and possibly report an anomaly. The described mirror would be used to record the skin color of its user during the year and deduce the blood volume by plethysmography. The bathtub would be required to evaluate blood pressure and internal tissue movements from the study of echoes created by high-frequency sound waves. Finally, other parameters such as skin temperature, heart rate and ...

During a renovation or construction, the choice of soil is part of what concerns us and of significant importance. Indeed, this one will accompany us on several years in general! But what to choose? Concrete floor: easy to maintain and uncluttered If you are in the option of a building, the concrete floor is the perfect opportunity. Easy to maintain and sleek, it can be smoothed, waxed or even composite. This floor is resistant to wear and supports floor heating very well. With its original appearance, it imposes itself in a well-defined style, to which one adheres or not, without half-measure. The authentic spirit may be suitable for sober and masculine interiors, but the very cold look can also put off those who prefer a warmer, more cozy atmosphere.

With the internet and e-commerce, the "small" bathroom retailers are dealing with unfair competition that puts them in a difficult situation. Top-of-the-line and design brands are dependent on taxes and wholesale purchases that are not offered to small retailers. In addition, these online stores have high-performance logistics that really hurt the business resellers. For example, Mikaël Benzazon, manager of the company Bains & Déco, just granted an interview to SDBpro.fr and alert on the future of its brand and showrooms: The problem, he explains, is that clients - architects, developers, hoteliers, building companies and individuals - are familiar with these sites. And for good reason: "It is enough on the internet to type the name of one of these brands in a search engine to fall on Reuter-shop, first at the top of the page. Even before the site of the brand itself. Other resellers, but also wholesalers with showroom, feel concerned and the idea of ​​a union of Bainistes and French Distributors challenge them strongly.

The second technique of fire mastered by man, after cooking food, ceramics is an astonishing example of human ability to reconcile the satisfaction of practical needs and aesthetic aspirations. Anterior to glass, it is experiencing a recent revival, in high-tech products. In Europe, the flowering of ceramics coincides with the beginning of the Renaissance. From the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, the manufacture of sandstone (different from that of glazed pottery by the addition of sand and high temperature) is experiencing a boom in Germany (workshops Cologne, Siegburg and Raeren). However, the stanniferous enamel pottery had scarcely reached the shores of Italy than Luca Della Robbia (see 1400-1482) and his workshop would give it its nobility. The ceramist was able to apply this process to sculpture and decoration (many madonnas, crests, pavements, altarpieces ...). These potteries were called terra invetriata. Beyond these applications, earthenware was to be attached to daily uses (various dishes, pharmacy vases). Faenza is, since the Middle Ages, with Siena and Orvieto, one of the centers of majolica in Italy, which will swarm in Urbino, Deruta, Gubbio, Castel-Durante as soon as ...
