On Early Light: The Places and People Who Carried Me Forward

At CARMELO Paris, the journey has never been linear. It has been a slow unfolding — shaped by unexpected grace and quiet generosity. Looking back, two early chapters continue to echo through our present. They were gentle openings — defining, delicate — that helped carve the path we now walk.

— Pinet Décoration — Where Story Met Space

The first was with Madame Pinet, a woman whose artistry lives in the gentle radiance of her lamps. Her boutique, became the first home of our crystal art objects.

Beneath the hum of the Grenelle Fountain, her space offered calm. It was here, in a setting both tactile and tender, that CARMELO Paris was first placed before the world.

With kindness and vision, Madame Pinet offered a corner of her boutique for our debut pop-up. That space became an offering — a threshold between studio and story, intention and experience. This moment remains a cherished one. The first time our creations stood not just as forms, but as feeling.

Espace Alevtina — A Serendipitous Opportune

Then came the soft surprise of Espace Alevtina — and with it, Madame Druart.

Her gallery, humble and elegant, became the stage for the unveiling of the Triad Bird Crystal Collection Séries. In her presence and under her curatorial eye, our sculptures took flight.

The several vernissages were quiet affirmation — a sense of being seen. Not just the work, but the world behind the work. The collection, echoing the energy of birds — freedom, instinct, transformation — found its first resonance among an audience who understood.

— Of Gratitude and Grounding

These spaces — Pinet Décoration and Espace Alevtina — are woven into our foundation.

They remind me that form alone does not carry a story. It needs context, care, and kindred spirit. And when art meets the right place and the right people, it becomes something more than beautiful. It becomes remembered.

With every step, I carry these beginnings forward. Thank you for walking with me. The unfolding continues.
