The heritage of the weave
Long before its iconic candles and scents came into being, the Diptyque store at 34 Boulevard Saint Germain resembled a curiosity shop. A visionary space created by Christiane Gautrot, Desmond Knox-Leet and Yves Coueslant, three friends from art school. Passionate about interior design, the trio designed, produced and sold furnishing fabrics in elegant prints during the early ‘60s. A taste for graphic design led them to travel in search of unique objects such as the sublime Kilim rugs. Hand-embroidered by nomadic artisans, Kilims are immediately recognizable by their geometric variations. A maze of perfectly organised triangles and diamonds, with slight irregularities that make them extremely valuable. The minute artwork appealed strongly to the three designers, who adored its craftsmanship.
