It all begins with a simple gesture: the harvest, and an immersion in the living world. By casting the treasures of the garden and the vegetable patch, we have created a new visual grammar. Plant textures metamorphose into bushy meanders and surfacing corals, evoking by turns the vastness of open lakes and the intimacy of a rock beneath the foam.

A fusion of matter, water and sky gives rise to an abstract landscape, at once familiar and wondrous.

MINNESOTA °C is a collection of olfactory objects where organic design meets bio-based innovation. Each piece is shaped from Reslin®, a 100% biodegradable plant-based resin derived from linseed oil and beet molasses.

Sensitive to temperature changes as it cures, the material captures the imprint of its surroundings: each piece becomes a unique record of the atmosphere on the day it was made — a kind of weather archive.

MINNESOTA 9°C is a freestanding diffuser that elevates this dialogue. Beneath its resin structure, an electric element heats a ceramic plate. The fragrance, held in a stainless-steel tank suspended from an aluminium tray, diffuses drop by drop as it meets the heat. Between imaginary geographies and industrial precision, this piece brings together the worlds of the garden, haute parfumerie and the kitchen.
