Every Diptyque object is the fruit of an encounter, with its own story to tell. This might be an encounter with a material, whether recycled – like our paperweights made from glass scraps collected from Murano glassblowers – or repurposed, like our Médicis vase made of white wax. It might also be an encounter with a skilled artisan chosen for their talent, whose creative process is meticulously upheld. Our iconic Fresnel candle holders, for example, were created in the workshops of one of France’s last semi-automatic glassmakers, Waltersperger, which has been named an Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (“Living Heritage Company”). These exceptional pieces, produced in a limited edition of just one thousand per year to safeguard the size of the company and guarantee our partner’s independence, have helped to amplify the reputation and prestige of this century-old glass and crystal maker.
