On the theme “A flowery summer in Paris”, we’ve created this setting like an escape
into a wonderful, fresh and exhilarating kind of nature. It offers a dense and colourful
floral composition which playfully combines architecture with nature.
At times mastered while at other times rebellious, this hybrid and abundant
vegetation accordingly reflects a flowery summer. Its recognizable scents gradually
permeate the streets of Paris and lead passers-by to the process of an olfactory harvest.
In the will to regenerate Maison Caron, we’ve thought of a new narrative for the
products which are part of the story unfolding around them. These settings are also
produced by only using what already exists. The brass structure was made from old
pieces of furniture belonging to Maison Caron. The flowers with large colourful petals
are the result of the transformation of papier-mâché egg-trays which were molded
then hand-painted. As for the small flowers, those were made from bottles of water
which were redesigned, painted, then ennobled in gold leaf.
