Description
Palais de Tokyo, like a mysterious spaceship conquering incomprehensible turbulence of the artist's vision, has dominated the coast of the Seine. A disturbing scent lingers among the walls of raw cement, which make up the labyrinth of the palace's interior and through which excited crowds of art lovers wander: dazzling gusts of smoky wood, warm leather, and metallic vibrations.
About the brand Astier de Villatte
Brand with a crafty touch. Its founders, Ivan Pericoli and Benoît Astier de Villatte, produce ceramics using traditional 19th century methods - making each piece timeless and unique. But ceramics are not the end! In 2008, the pair invited renowned "noses": Emilie Mazeaud and Françoise Carona (a star from the Japanese perfume house Takasago) to collaborate. This resulted in a line of colognes, incense, and scented candles. The candles deserve special recognition - each wick (made of pure cotton) is tailored to the specific composition, while the glass vessels, decorated with small air bubbles, are made in an old-fashioned workshop in Tuscany. The labels and cardboard packaging are printed by one of the last typesetters in France - Monsieur Huin.
