R1524
R1524 is a minimalist container created by France-based designer Thomas Roger. In the tapestry of time, LES RACINES (The Roots) emerges as a collection steeped in the designer’s most cherished memories. Like tendrils reaching into the past, it draws sustenance from sun-dappled seaside reveries and the gentle artistry of a grandfather who breathed new life into driftwood and roots alike. Each piece, birthed between the whispers of April 4, 2023, and the echoes of May 27, 2024, stands as a testament to authenticity, cradled in custom-crafted wooden vessels for its journey into the world. These objects seem to have been caressed by the very hands of time, shaped by the invisible forces that sculpt our world. They are not mere creations but continuations—bridges spanning the chasm between what was and what is. In them, the designer has woven a tribute to roots both tangible and ethereal, a contemplation of origins that speaks to the ineffable connection between creator and creation.
LES RACINES is not a pursuit of flawless form, but rather a celebration of the act of creation itself. Each day, the designer’s hands perform their ritual, not in repetition but in refinement. Every object becomes a verse in an ever-evolving poem, each line etched with the inherited wisdom of generations and the commitment to preserving stories through the language of design. In this collection, perfection lies not in symmetry or smoothness, but in the authenticity of gesture and the depth of narrative. Each piece whispers its own tale, yet together they form a chorus that sings of personal history, timeless connections, and the indelible bond between material and memory. LES RACINES is more than a collection—it is a living, breathing testament to the enduring power of roots, both those that anchor us to the earth and those that connect us to our past.
