Description
Astier de Villatte’s ‘Palais de Tokyo’ candle was designed in collaboration with the Palais de Tokyo museum in Paris. The scent captures its essence, one which many find intoxicating.
Overlooking the river Seine, with its austere silhouette, Palais de Tokyo feels less like a building than a force field for imagination. Within its vast maze, intoxicating wisps of smoky wood curl through the air, warmed by the skin of zealous crowds and sharpened by a cool, metallic vibration. There is something haunting in the composition, as though the scent itself were tracing the passage of artists, insomniacs and devotees through the space. It captures that peculiar beauty of contemporary culture at its most intense — raw, cerebral and faintly nocturnal.

About Us
About Us
Founded by the late June Summerill and Bernadette Bishop, two great friends with a truly effortless and unique sense of style, Summerill & Bishop first opened its doors on 18th May, 1994 in Holland Park, and has remained on the same quiet, leafy corner of Clarendon Cross ever since.
Fantastic home cooks and entertainers both, June and Bernadette were frustrated with the offerings at most kitchen and tableware shops at the time, and with the lack of personality and intimacy, so they decided to create one of their own, where beauty and functionality would both be key.
At Summerill & Bishop we believe that if people take the time to lay the table and present a meal beautifully, they'll enjoy it all the more and create a lasting memory for those who share it with them.
For us, laying the table is an art form that we can all master at home and is one of the simplest ways to tell someone what they mean to you. The table isn't just a place to pass food, you pass tradition, memory, and love, too. Read our full story here...
