Oval box - Small

Handcrafted in Vietnam, using the traditional art of lacquered wood.

Story

Diptyque celebrates the ancestral Vietnamese art of lacquered wood through a new collection of handmade pieces featuring a fresh take on the emblematic codes of the maison, from the signature oval to the revisited dancing letters in striking contrast of classic ink-like black on ivory. In a nod to Diptyque's love of calligraphy, the letters of the Typovalo alphabet, designed by artist Florence Bamberger, dance on the oval-shaped trays and boxes. These timeless treasures, a collaboration between artist and artisan, create an elegant atmosphere while offering everyday functionality in an aesthetic way.

Know-how

The result of centuries of expertise, each lacquered wooden piece is meticulously handcrafted by artisans from Ha Thai, a village in Vietnam, where the traditional technique originated. After construction, each piece receives an average of 15 successive coats of lacquer before hand-painting. After careful sanding and polishing, the lacquer finally reveals a smooth surface with a mirror-like finish. A patient quest for excellence and an eye for detail guarantee infinite brilliance and depth of colour.

Directions for use

Preserve the condition of lacquered wooden pieces:

- Handle gently and avoid contact with items that could cause scratches (coins, keys, etc.).
- Place away from sunlight and avoid sharp fluctuations in temperature and humidity.
- Clean with a soft, dry cloth.
