Lifestyle / Homeware
The same eye that shapes the rails carries over to the home: objects chosen for how they sit in a room and how they wear over years of use, not for novelty. At Marché d'Intérêt Général this is the quieter side of the store, fragrance, candles, and considered pieces meant to live with rather than display. Perfumer H brings hand-blown glass vessels and singular scents. Marmalade evokes burnt citrus with orange, lavender, and petitgrain. Ivy suggests an English garden at the turn of season, while Ink centers on clarity, elemi and juniper over papyrus and frankincense. Smoke is built on the residue of fire: burnt cade, birch tar, and slow-release warmth. Each 175g candle holds space without announcement. Pien Studios approaches the everyday through sculpture. Wooden coaster sets, natural or lacquered, shift tactile weight into objects meant for a shelf as much as a table. The Lacquer Runner, Reverse Tile Set, and Large Larco read as functional art, handmade in Amsterdam. The Square Pillow Cover arrives in a deep black with tassel detail, holding stillness on a sofa. Transparent brings Scandinavian clarity to sound: speakers in black and white where aluminium and tempered glass become form. Hender Scheme's Erlenmeyer Flask in borosilicate glass (made in Japan) transforms the scientific into the sculptural. Rier's Fleece Blanket in 100% natural wool, ultra-lightweight, biodegradable, temperature-regulating, settles into a room with slow familiarity. Small things done properly. The kind that earn their place on a shelf and stay there.
