Shapes and Sillage, a sensory dialogue

Feb 3, 2026

There are places that retain a particular vibration, an imprint left by those who inhabited and shaped them. On Rue de Verneuil, Karl Lagerfeld's former studio and refuge is one such place. Within this monumental space, where concrete, glass, and metal interact in radical lines, Maison Monravel was invited to leave its mark.

At the initiative of Carole de Bona for Bel Ouvrage, this event transformed the space into a theater of textures and sensations, where contemporary objects met olfactory remedies.

In this setting, both futuristic and steeped in history, our botanical candles found a new resonance. For Maison Monravel, luxury lies not in ostentation, but in the precision of the gesture and the nobility of the material.

Showcasing our creations alongside collectible design pieces selected by Bel Ouvrage was an obvious choice. The hand-blown glass of our candles, crafted in Tuscany, echoed the radical lines of the furniture, creating a soft contrast between architectural rigor and the warmth of the flame.

In the grand living room, notes of sacred resins and deep woods grounded the gaze, offering an organic counterpoint to the verticality of the metallic shelves. Further on, a trail of crushed herbs and roots purified the air, reminding us that each candle is above all a sensory remedy, an invitation to find one's own rhythm.

To wander among the works of art and exceptional furniture is to understand that the harmony of an interior does not stop at what the eye perceives. It is felt, it is breathed.

This shared moment at 8, rue des Saint-Pères was a celebration of the art of living: a return to origins where perfume rediscovers its primary vocation of care, at the heart of an environment where every detail is a quest for perfection.
