The Science of Light
The Science of Light as defined by La Prairie seeks to understand the various factors that impede skin’s luminosity. In pursuing their research, the scientists at La Prairie asked themselves a simple, essential question: what if there were a way to decode skin’s luminosity?
A new chapter in La prairie’s Heritage of bold scientific research has thus come to light.
"Architecture is the wise, precise and magnificent balance of forms brought together under the light"
Le Corbusier
Design
The relationship between form and function, between beauty and utility, is central to the Bauhaus philosophy. The aesthetic of La Prairie's approach to design is a reflection of this essential symbiosis. The clean lines of the pearlescent, cylindrical White Caviar Eye Extraordinaire and White Caviar Crème Extraordinaire vessels are punctuated by a brilliant, sculpted ring that evokes the collection’s namesake caviar beads. The high-polish silver cap opens like a jewel box to reveal an integrated, light-reflecting mirror.
INTERPRETATION
Inspired by the architecture of light, La Prairie boutiques feature an artistic interpretation of the interaction between light and shape In this very simple yet elegant form, with its gentle curves, light changes the impression of shape.
MECHANISM
With a press of the sleek inverted button, an innovative airless pump – designed to preserve the illuminating properties of Lumidose – is activated releasing the perfect dose of pristine white cream for extraordinary luminosity.
