DESIGN FOR LUXURY & CRAFTSMANSHIP
by Sarah Rémy
Sōl (Latin for “sun") is a ritual object for skin care, which celebrates the beginning and the end of the day, turning it into a moment dedicated to slowness and the senses. Sōl is inspired by layering, a multi-step Japanese ceremony. Natural products are used successively: oil, soap, aloe vera, Konjac sponge and water. Combined with glass and bronze, it creates superimposition and light effects. The solar colours are gradually revealed during the make-up removal process. The production is the result of meetings with French and Swiss craftspeople. The glass was mouth blown at the Atelier-Musée du Verre in Trélon, France, and the dome was cast in a traditional bell foundry.
