L'OEUF OF ABD EL KADER
What came first? The chicken or… L’Œuf? If we were to ask Dimitri Smilenko, the creator of this truly distinctive diffuser, the answer would be that the egg always comes first. Inspired by the ornamental ostrich eggs of sixteenth- and eighteenth-century cabinets of curiosities, by Fabergé eggs, by the surrealism of René Magritte, and by the Enlightenment’s fascination with the animal kingdom, L’Œuf transforms a universal symbol of life, infinity, and creation into a work of art you can bring into your home. And when it is filled with the fragrance of freedom drifting down from the mountains onto the Mascara Coast, in waves of mint, ginger, tea, and tobacco from the Ouled Nail… it brings into your home a world beyond the ordinary.
