LEGACY PAINT · LUEURS DU NORD COLLECTION
Founding edition · 30 numbered units

Inspired by the temperance of Scandinavian workshops and the morning clarity that rises over frozen lakes, Lueurs du Nord evokes the luminous silence of the north: that soft twilight where light filters through silver mists and reveals the truth of each material.

Each pigment revives the memory of silent winters, the texture of washed linen, and the imprint of hands that, from Falun to Uppsala, mixed mineral earths with natural oils and resins to achieve that discreet harmony that seemed to breathe alongside the wood.

A triad of tones created under the essence of Nordic twilight, crafted with the calm and purity of the ancient masters of the north:

THE THREE NORDIC SHADES, 30 grams/unit

Brun de Laponie — Deep and serene earth, with hints of aged wood.

Bleu du Silence — Winter blue with reflections of washed linen and icy light.

Vert de Cygne — Soft green with a grayish halo, like mist over water.

Each set includes the original 50-gram formulas and emulsions, made with beeswax, carnauba wax, and other natural and artisanal ingredients, virgin olive oil, following the historical practices of the workshops in Stockholm, Södermanland, and Uppsala.

Our traditional base of 150 grams of powder, with as its main component white wine from Spain (land of Don Quixote), lime from Morón (declared intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO) Andalusia, Spain

The result is a vibrant, honest, and deeply natural painting: a tribute to the serenity of the north.

EXTRA MATTE WAX · VELOURS DU TEMPS 60 grams.

Inspired by 18th-century Gustavian interiors, this wax evokes the serenity of antique finishes, with a soft, mineral veil that settles on the wood with the gentleness of time.

Formulated with fine waxes, resins and natural minerals, it follows 18th-century Nordic practices and is a recreation of artisanal blends that respected the wood's breath.

"Wax doesn't cover: it breathes."
Atelier du Nord, ca. 1770

Apply a very small amount with a wristband or brush, using gentle circular motions.
Don't dwell too much on one point: minerals need time to rest.
If white glazes appear, let them dry: as they do so they become transparent, revealing the authentic matte finish made over centuries.

CONSERVATION

Approximately 6 months if stored in a cool, dry place protected from light.
Clean the tools with warm water before the product dries.
As a living material, each preparation follows its own cycle: it breathes, matures, and preserves its essence over time.

Fragrance and Protection Sachet

A small bag accompanies each edition:
Rice that discreetly watches over the moisture
and tiny sequins of perfumed wax that release a soft, antique aroma when the box is opened.

A humble and exquisite gesture, inherited from European workshops,
where every detail was a way of taking care of the material… and the artisan who received it.

ARTISANAL PROCESS

Everything is handmade in our small workshop.
We work without stock: we prepare only one or two kilos of each mix to keep it fresh and balanced.
If there are no units available, they are created and shipped between 2 and 5 business days later, after their natural resting period.

We design and print the labels and assemble each edition by hand, taking care of every detail.
If you ever receive a different box, container or label, it's part of its authenticity: there are no industrial processes, just the creative freedom of the handmade.

Each edition is limited and unrepeatable.
