L’Artéfact combines the function of a home accessory with the form of an art object to transcend the utilitarian function of a soap dish. Inspired by the iconic cendrier or ashtray typically found on the terraces of Parisian brasseries and the Parisian hobby of sitting en terrasse to study the movements of pedestrians, their interactions, and attire.

 

Carved from a solid block of high-quality Stainless Steel weighing over 1.5 kg, this limited edition porte-savon features an embossed centre that is perfectly sized to hold ORRIS artisanal botanical soaps. Additionally, it includes four narrow ducts that ensure effective drainage.

 

L'Artéfact is a durable and timeless product, meticulously crafted to withstand the wear of time. Through use, it will gracefully acquire a natural patina, an undeniable testament to its authenticity and charm of its wear.

L'Artéfact is an object inspired by the Parisian hobby of sitting en terrasse to study the movements of pedestrians, their interactions, and attire. A piece of hardware designed to elevate the daily ritual of cleansing. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, brasseries became popular gathering places for artists, writers, intellectuals, and other members of Parisian high society. These establishments offered an ideal setting for people-watching, as patrons could sit for hours sipping coffee or wine while observing the comings and goings of the city’s diverse inhabitants. Beyond their practical function, these iconic silver ashtrays also had cultural and symbolic significance in Paris. They were often considered as a status symbol and a decorative accessory.

    A beautiful centrepiece

    Absolutely adore L’Artéfact. Its current use is as a centrepiece on our coffee table, an occasional jewellery dish and a gorgeous talking point.

    Will love it forever.
