DANCING letters

Letters pay no attention to etiquette. If they throw all good manners to the wind, it's not just to look pretty, but also as an act of poetry. Desmond Knox-Leet is the originator of the hilarious jumble of letters on diptyque's labels. The Majesty's subject helped decipher messages from the enemy during World War II. He has kept his joy in encoded messages and riddles. For diptyque he invents these cheerful letter puzzles that the eye deciphers with joy. Nothing is more desirable than imperfection, the deviation from the usual. In the end, it is not even necessary to decipher the word. The message, in black and white, is obvious.

THE FOUNDERS: an artist collective

The secret of the uniqueness of diptyque is the special chemistry between the three personalities Christiane Montadre-Gautrot, Yves Coueslant and Desmond Knox-Leet. Their encounter set off a chain reaction whose creative surge continues to this day. Christiane is from Fine Arts, Desmond is a painter and Yves Coueslant had given up an incongruous career in the bank to go to the theatre.
