Don't forget the Puces de St-Ouen, a well-known place full of antiques and 20th century design pieces.
Foodwise, if you want to see a real Parisian bistrot, have lunch at "Le temps des cerises" near Bastille/Le Marais, a typical small cafe that serves food and is crowded during lunch time so you get close with your neigbours, and it's so good, so nice, so french and so real.. (and it's classified monument) http://www.paris-meconnu.fr/arrondissements/4eme/lieux/le-temps-des-cerises-2.htm
I am parisian but have been living in London for 6 years now, when I need a dose of Paris I have lunch there, and also I go to see the indutrial/weird antics near Metro Parmentier around rue Ternaux (19, LA CHOSE) and rue du marche Popincourt (24, Pudding ; 1, Alasainglinglin ; 5, Belle Lurette ; 3 Recycling) et rue Neuve Popincourt. I aslo check this shop near Oberkampf http://www.lescurieuses.com/ok.htm
So many things to see there for design lovers!

I am getting my kitchen re-done and just instructed the cabinet maker that I wanted a backsplash made of.. recycled wood boards. I did so because I am decorating all my flat with only materials with a nice texture and to keep the imperfections that I think give so much charactere (and in an old victorian flat in London I have a lot of those "imperfections!).. so I can only triple-like this article ;-)
In fact my inspiration came from this article from a year and half ago..
