Cali

Its stackable design not only extends the product line but also subtly evokes the elegance of a chalice. The series features three distinct sizes, all crafted from borosilicate glass. This material allows for various color combinations and its unique properties create captivating reflections, playing with perceptions of volume, weight, and gravity. Additionally, the product packaging is made from recycled cardboard.

Embrasse Moi

Halfway between art and design, Embrasse Moi is the majestic light sculpture whose name recalls the play on words between the English brass and the lamp's curved, enveloping shape. The suspension lamp has been handcrafted: a large sculpture in burnished brass that recalls the DNA strand, the weave of which unfolds like a fil rouge throughout the space, giving every project an artistic accent that makes it unique.

Nong Li

By reviving the brewing recipe of the Yangshao Culture with modern techniques, Nong Li celebrates Chinese brewing tradition and brings consumers closer to this profound history. Embracing classical elegance, the bottle is modeled after the Shuang Er Ni Yu (salamander fish) patterned pottery vessel unearthed in the Yangshao culture site, and adorned with ancient motifs such as ripple patterns. This packaging, rich with historically significant elements, becomes a distinctive hallmark for the brand, and offers a reference for inheriting and innovating Chinese liquor culture.

Black Moon

The main complication featured on the Black Moon is a lunar cycle that makes use of fragments of two lunar meteorites. The new moon is made from the dark hued Dhofar 457 circled in red for greater readability. The full moon is cut from the lighter Gadamis 005 meteorite. The current lunar phase is read at three o'clock, where the index is framed in red. The lunar display is driven by an astronomical moon complication whose key component is a 135 tooth gear that ensures precision. Deviation is one day in 122 years.
