Brazilian lifestyle

With preparations for the World Cup under way, Brazil has come to Aix! With some good ideas for getting the country’s vibe.


Fanbrush™ in Brazil
Now you can paint your face in Brazil’s gold and green or the colours of your favourite football team with one swipe of the hand! Pierre Maillé has invented the Fanbrush™, the first face-painting stick specially designed for football fans. “We formed our company Imalis in Aix-en-Provence in April 2004. We’ve sold nine million Fanbrushes in ten years.“ Fanbrush™ is a high quality product made from plant extracts, in compliance with European regulations, paraben-free and suitable for sensitive skins. It’s made in our region, in Valensole, and will be on sale in Brazil and all World Cup countries.
Imalis, 730 rue Pierre Simon Laplace


NÃO do Brasil 
Born of a meeting between an adventurous Frenchman and a highly-skilled Brazilian craftsman, NAÔ shoes were launched in 2010 after three years in the pipeline. NÃO do Brasil is above all a concept based on creativity, originality and inventiveness. Each pair of these hand-crafted shoes has a virtually unique look. They are made in small batches, mostly from recycled or recovered materials.
NÃO do Brasil, 27 rue des Cordeliers


Brazilian mood in your armchair
Sophie-Agathe Rémy, designer, artist, decorator and poet, invites you to her world at Zéphyr & Co near Aix-en-Provence. On her travels she drinks in the light, the landscapes and the friendliness, and takes inspiration from eco-friendly crafts. She makes all her exotic cushions, fabrics, curtains, lamp shades, armchairs, plates and decors herself in small and often numbered batches, using solvent-free inks and fabrics made from recycled plastic.
Zéphyr & Co, 60 avenue de la Grande Bégude, Venelles.
