LJUS – A Union of Design, Craft and Rituals,Brought to You by Byredo x Iittala

/

LJUS – A Union of Design, Craft and Rituals, Brought to You by Byredo x Iittala Byredo X Iiittala light refractor The most enduring collaborations begin with a shared point of view. For Iittala and Byredo, that common ground is rooted in an appreciation of design that transcends basic function – creating objects that are inspired by our everyday rituals, through considered beauty, purposeful form, and exceptional craftsmanship. First announced earlier this year, this collection, LJUS, explores the relationship between light and scent through the lens of distinct Nordic craftsmanship. Drawing on Iittala’sheritage in glassmaking and Byredo’s expertise in sensory design, the collection offers a new way of experiencing everyday rituals through the considered interplay of form, light and fragrance, shaped through and animated by flame. As the colder months draw in, the launch arrives at a moment when our homes and daily rituals naturally shift with the season. Inspired by the changing qualities of Nordic light, this partnership explores the quiet dialogue between fire and ice, permanence and ephemerality, inviting moments of warmth, reflection and pause. “At its most honest, Nordic light reveals rather than flatters. In this collaboration, light is treated as a material – shaped by human hands and judgement. When Iittala’s glass meets Byredo’s fire, a new light emerges: elemental, restrained and deeply human.” -Janni Vepsäläinen, Creative Director, Iittala Byredo X Iittala candle stand 125x26mm All rights reserved by Fiskars Finland (Vita) Oy Ab.

Photographer: Timo Junttila Handcrafted at Iittala’s historic factory in Finland, where generations of skilled makershave shaped molten glass through breath, heat and human touch, each object bears subtlevariations in form and surface that reflect the character of the making process.Rather than imperfections, these subtle variations are hallmarks of the making process,reflecting the unique character of glass as a living material. Paired with Byredo’s candles and incense, the collection creates an immersive sensoryexperience, where glass, fragrance and light interact to shape atmosphere within thehome. LJUS marries two Nordic houses united by a shared commitment to enduring design,championing the quiet moments of everyday life through objects created to be lived withand cherished over time. The full LJUS collection will launch globally on 16 October 2026 for the Holiday season,available through Iittala.com and Iittala stores, alongside Byredo’s direct-to-consumerchannels.

Cartier’s Baignoire watch meets the Clou de Paris

/

Cartier’s Baignoire watch meets the Clou de Paris First appearing in 1958 and officially taking its name in 1973, the Baignoire watch has been defined by constant evolution but has always remained true to its original identity. In 2023, Cartier designed an unprecedented new edition with a bangle bracelet. Featuring the signature curves, the Cartier logo, and a winding crown adorned with a sapphire, the Baignoire codes are there for all to see.  This year, the Maison is reinterpreting the Baignoire bangle model by adorning it with the Clou de Paris motif. Already part of the Maison’s stylistic repertoire by the start of the 1920s, the Clou de Paris has been a constant on Cartier creations.  From the bangle bracelet to the case and dial, the watch is now entirely adorned with the Clou de Paris motif. This sensorial motif adds rhythm and structure, magnifies volumes and creates a truly architectural geometry aesthetic, making for a playfully tactile surface. It’s crafted in monochrome gold to ensure seamless continuity between the bracelet and the dial.  Now more dazzling than ever, Cartier’s new diamond design on this edition represents a true technical feat of gem-setting. With its 100 brilliant-cut diamonds, the snow setting on the dial creates a changing play of light. Throughout the piece, the diamonds and the Clou de Paris motif create a harmony of volumes in relief.  image courtesy Cartier

Cartier – Into the Wild 

/

CARTIER – Into the Wild Cartier’s jewellery fauna draws its creative vitality from the history of the Maison. It has held a privileged status from the dawn of the twentieth century, with the introduction of birds and then insects. Then came the first reptiles, felines, and chimeras, followed by the zebra and the elephant. This world is populated by magnetic creatures over whom the emblematic Panther reigns, first appearing in her three-dimensional sculptural form in 1948.  The Maison’s new ambassador, Scottish actor Tilda Swinton, brings her unique talent to a creative project around Cartier’s wildlife and jewellery. This collection is composed of five magnetic creatures whose character and transcendence are embraced by the multi-award-winning artist.  Rings with tiger, parrot, carp, crocodile or rhinoceros heads, this jewellery collection expresses itself with a great blow of the jaw, beak or muzzle. These stylised heads of strong character meet all the challenges of savoir-faire from Cartier and its artisans. Designers, jewellers, lapidaries, gem-setters have worked to give them this feeling of life; a presence on the hand intensified by their spectacular volume.  True feats of the atelier, the crocodile and tiger sets evolve between realism and abstraction. These two intentions are driven by a single objective: to restore the living nature of the animal.  The emblematic Panther tête-à-tête bracelet adopts the immaculate white of a coat entirely paved and spotted with geometric diamonds. This precious new interpretation extends the play of light between the paved zones and the white gold structure.  image courtesy Cartier

Mumbaistockholm x Nicole Wilson Presents Garden Paths – Where Garden Design Meets Swedish Jewellery Art

/

Mumbaistockholm x Nicole Wilson Presents Garden Paths – Where Garden Design Meets Swedish Jewellery Art With Garden Paths, Mumbaistockholm launches an exclusive jewellery collection designed by garden designer Nicole Wilson. Created in close collaboration with Mumbaistockholm founder and jewellery designer Cecilia Kores, the collection is inspired by life’s detours, change, and the beautiful moments that arise when we dare to let go of control over the path ahead. The collection comprises seven sculptural pieces crafted from 18K recycled gold and set with natural smoky quartz and champagne diamonds. Working closely together, Mumbaistockholm founder and jewellery designer Cecilia Kores has transformed Nicole Wilson’s sketches and clay models into finely crafted jewellery, translating the garden’s organic forms into wearable expressions. “Winding paths may not always take us along the shortest route, but almost always the most beautiful one. In a garden, there is a thought behind every turn – a new view, an unexpected scent, a moment in bloom, or a plant to fall in love with. Garden Paths was born from that very feeling,” explains Nicole Wilson, garden designer. image courtesy Mumbaistockholm x Nicole Wilson
