Line Vautrin is one of those archetypally French personalities - others are Cocteau, Piaf and Christian Berard - whose talents are compounded of dreams, poetry, images from the past and a mischievous sense of fun. Since she was five years old, she has, like an alchemist turning base metals into gold, transformed humble materials into miracles of beauty and imagination. Even the war-time scarcity of metals did not stop her; they made invention all the more important. Her career took off from a shop in the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore and a Louis XV hotel in the Marais, housing her workshops, showroom and apartment, which became a veritable Aladdin's cave.
Like Schiaparelli, Vautrin pioneered designer buttons; but hers were part of a range of jewelry that is utterly unlike anyone else's: made in a variety of substances from gilt bronze to resin, and in forms inspired by ancient Greek coins, medieval folk art, animals, word-games, or, in her extraordinary abstract ensembles, the material itself. From jewelry, her love of handiwork and inventing shapes led her on to sculpture, and finally to an altogether new art-form which she calls "pellimorphoses."
But Line Vautrin is much more than the sum of her inventions: she is a part of history, and her work is sought by museums. This tribute is the first to fix the shifting colors of her life in permanent form. Vautrin herself has contributed a witty autobiographical sketch, and supervised the layout of her pieces in the color plates, while Patrick Mauries supplies a knowledgeable assessment of her work.
An incarnation of the ideal Parisienne, Line Vautrin has been fashioning whimsical, charming objects for decades. Now a new audience has the chance to enter her enchanted world.

Works good for me.
Very easy to put together. Holds plenty of water to mop a large area. Comes with 2 microfiber pads that are washable. Didn’t leave a lot of water on the floor. My floor dried quickly especially with the ceiling fan on. You do have to vacuum debri up first then mop. Nice attachment to steam clean other things in the house if needed. Does a good job for the price.

Powerful Steam Mop for Easy Deep Cleaning.
Color: White, Color: White
I’m very happy with this steam mop! It heats up quickly and cleans my floors really well without using harsh chemicals. The detachable handheld steamer is super useful for cleaning bathrooms, kitchen corners, and even windows. I also like the long power cord and the different attachments that make cleaning easier. Lightweight, easy to use, and a great value for the price! If you have a small kids or baby it’s impossible to keep the floor clean, because they are dropping all the time milk, water, juice but this steam mop help me a lot.

Light Steam Mop
Color: White
I’ve been using this steam mop around the house and it’s been pretty decent. It heats up fast and the steam is strong enough to lift the usual kitchen and hallway mess without me scrubbing forever. The water tank isn’t huge, but it lasts long enough for a quick clean of a couple rooms. The handheld part is actually useful. I’ve used it on the bathroom tiles and around the stove, and it does a better job than sprays. It’s light enough, though after a while you feel it a bit in the wrist. The long cord helps so I’m not constantly unplugging it. The mop pads stay on and wash fine. The only thing that bugs me is the head doesn’t swivel as smoothly as I expected, so getting under low furniture takes a bit of angling. Overall, it’s a good everyday steam mop.
