constance guisset’s recents works have led her to create two products for nature & découvertes exclusive ’25 25 25′ collection. the first product is ‘cumulus’, an essential oil diffuser that takes form as a soft, light cloud. its shape evokes dreamlike feelings and quiet contemplation, yet conceals highly concise diffusing technologies. matte ceramics have a sensual texture inviting to touch, reminiscent of clouds we have all dreamed of reaching out and grabbing. halfway between figuration and abstraction, ‘cumulus’ allows users to lose themselves in a momentary, imaginative lull. the object comes with an ‘essential’ sidekick: a secondary, small cloud case for hiding away oil reserves or little treasures.

‘beetle’ is a backpack for adventurers who never know where there travels may take them. or, for those of us that can’t stand to carry around an umbrella or rain jacket. the backpack lets users carry what’s essential, with a little added shelter. by pulling on two strings, a soft carapace opens. a raincoat pops out, and can be pulled on without needing to take off the bag. when the storm passes, the shell easily closes once again, and slips back into the rim of the bag. the 18-liter storage capacity has plenty of room for the many items gleaned on the road. both designs are now available through nature & découvertes.
