This past holiday season, we created a kit of objects for family and friends, comprised of a 2026 calendar and a thoughtfully designed and packaged candle.
We believe strongly in creating beautiful things that exist outside of our day-to-day briefs and goals — especially when we can do it for ourselves, friends and partners.
The calendar serves as a container for an editorial narrative inspired by “Le Voyage dans la Lune.” Widely considered to be the first ever sci-fi films, it is one of cinema’s most celebrated treasures. The famed literary critic Edward Wagenknecht described the film as a work “satirizing the pretensions of professors and scientific societies while simultaneously appealing to man’s sense of wonder in the face of an unexplored universe.”
We explored that relationship with our friend, Paris-based photographer Cécilia Poupon. Each image uses household items to tell the story of humanity’s undying aspiration to transcend our boundaries, especially during uncertain times.
In addition to the calendar, we created our first scent and candle in collaboration with Joya Studio in Brooklyn. The scent is designed to fill our workspaces and take us into the new year with a refreshing, focusing, and calming energy.
We worked closely with Joya founder Frederick Bouchardy and his team, designing a subtle, airy scent that softly permeates rather than overwhelms, unfolding with a blend of lemon, eucalyptus, pink pepper, neroli and orange blossom, while amber, cedarwood and pale musk add warmth and depth.
