Manon Hudson and Alexandre Piffaut have founded a ceramic workshop in the Alpes de Haute Provence, bringing together different skills, capable of producing on a human scale, objects charged with an emotional experience. From the design to the realization of their ceramics, through modeling, the materials involved are precious. All ceramics and scented objects are produced in small series, numbered.

For the project of Xyloflor - the scent of Shezad Dawood’s exhibition at Wiels, crafted together with Perfumer Nicolas Bonneville - we invited Ofumum to work with Shezad Dawood to produce the central piece of the exhibition. the large ceramic vase using bamboo reeds for capillary diffusion, releasing the scent into the night garden, immersing within Dawood and Lateef’s metaphysical space.

A limited series of artist signed edition soliflor and scent is now available to purchase, soon at the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto. There are a few available on our e-shop.

Its unique shape and colors have been designed by Shezad Dawood. Each ceramic has been hand made and painted by Ofumum.

This soliflor has many intents. To create your own bouquet or to revive the scent of the exhibition. To prolong the exhibition at home definitely.

As a fragrance diffuser, the soliflor operates based on a simple plant capillary action diffusion process. It is fragile yet meant to be durable and can be recharged with the scent provided.

Edition of 99 pieces. Retail price: 280 Euros ($305). It comes with 100ml solution, reeds and a certificate signed by Shezad Dawood. When ordering your Xyloflor, please specify the edition you wish to receive.
