Acclaimed artist Johan Creten imagined a bronze sculpture, La Laguna, submerged in a 1.5 kg four-wick candle in a blue-tinted glass vessel. The translucent blue-green wax through which the feminine figure can be seen recalls the dreaded “acqua alta” – the recurring seasonal flooding of the city – hinting at the Venetian waters that, recently, have become clear again.
Diptyque was founded by three brilliant, kindred spirits who met through friends of friends. Christiane Gautrot, a graduate from l’Ecole des Arts Décoratifs and Desmond Knot-Leet, a painter, worked together, designing fabric and wallpaper for ultra-chic British brands. Then, they were introduced to Yves Coueslant, who had escaped an unlikely career in banking to follow his heart and work… in theatre. The three friends quickly became inseparable. In 1961, they opened an unusual boutique with a daring plan: listen to their intuition and only do what they love. Their friendship as well as their business grew, and Diptyque became the household name we’ve all come to love.
