Rabih Kayrouz created Secretum, a poetic object of wonders. Inside a cedar wood box, we find three small sculptures – the kind of artifacts that the founders of Diptyque might have brought back after one of their countless journeys: a fragment of a temple, a fossil poppy from the Adonis Valley – the artist’s birthplace -, and a golden fragment from a cedar crown that could have belonged to the legendary King of Byblos. This piece is a tribute to the wood that the ancient civilizations used for building the world’s many wonders: mostly cedar wood shipped via Byblos, the world’s oldest port.
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.Â
