The new collection explores scent as material through artisanal objects designed for domestic and wardrobe spaces
Lemaire introduced “Objets Senteur,” a collection of five fragrance objects designed for the home, with a focus on spaces where garments are stored. The launch expands the brand’s offering into olfactory design, positioning scent as a material element in dialogue with craft and everyday environments.
The collection comprises five pieces—Pomme, Emboîtage, Tresse, Wood Link, and Lavender Cushion—each developed to engage with different materials including clay, wood, linen, and cotton. Designed to be replenished over time, the objects integrate fragrance into functional and decorative forms, extending their role within domestic settings.
Two of the pieces, Pomme and Emboîtage, were created in collaboration with the estate of French ceramist Annie Fourmanoir. These ceramic works reinterpret elements of her sculptural practice, with Pomme formed in chamotte clay and Emboîtage constructed as a series of nested forms. Each object incorporates a distinct fragrance, with profiles ranging from cardamom and wood to smoky, resinous notes.
The remaining objects explore textile and wood-based applications. Tresse, a handwoven linen braid, is designed to scent wardrobes, while Wood Link uses red cedar to diffuse a natural woody fragrance and protect garments. Lavender Cushion, made from cotton crêpe and filled with fir shavings, introduces a softer, herbaceous scent intended for use in storage and travel.
The collection will be presented in-store through dedicated displays, with each object placed under glass cloches to emphasize sensory engagement. Distribution will include Lemaire flagships in Paris, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Beijing, as well as selected retail partners.
With “Objets Senteur,” Lemaire extends its design approach into the sensory dimension of the home, linking materiality, function, and fragrance within a framework of artisanal production and long-term use.
