Diptyque works in collaboration with French designer Sam Baron to launch the new Simple Objects collection full of unique homeware that is made to honor its candle. Baron oversaw four artists along with a team of craftsmen to create a capsule. The theme behind the collection, which has just launched earlier this week in Paris was a "return to the simplicity of form."
All of the designers including Baron were chosen by the company -- the others include Samuel Accoceberry, Cécile Bichon, Nicolas Mareau, and Gianpaolo Pagni. All of the artists brought forth their signature styles and art themes to the pieces. All of the materials that make up the range are associated with the brand itself including glass, wax, and wood that were used.
