Lilly de Reve
More than a perfume, an olfactory-sculpture. An invitation to travel to a silent harmony.
The Flacon:
The bottle has been made from an original work sculpted by Claude Justamon, a sculpting-artist.
Making cabochon of glass requires using an ancestral casting technique that is still practiced nowadays by some rare master glassmakers: lost-wax casting. This craft process needs making a mould for each top, which is “lost” at the end of glass cooking. Every piece is therefore unique and has a serial number. Manufacturing the bottle is entrusted to an ancient glass factory at Bresle Valley. At the furnace column, master glassmakers have devoted their alchemist’s know-how to the bottle’s organic form that they cast on a “casting bed” to spare it damage by casting marks on the bottom.
“I would say that discovering the work of Claude JUSTAMON was like unveiling a part of myself. I was immediately attracted by her language, by the vocabulary of shapes born under her fingers and by the brilliant ideas carried through her art. It gave me the feeling of something intimate. A world opened to me, strange and magnificent. I suggested her the idea to create together a bottle-sculpture, an object that would embody our common vision, and she was immediately enthusiastic and wonderfully creative. ” —Majda BEKKALI Creator of SONGE |
