Mirror, gaze mirror, reveal the depths of my soul...
Anne & Valentin imagined LUOS as a collector’s piece — in every sense. A limited-edition object, a happening in its own right. Its name is a call to dream, to release, to the boundless landscapes of the human soul.
LUOS is aerial. Surreal. Sculptural. Its lines drift like a summer breeze, with a momentum that feels unstoppable. A poetic tribute to the creative spirit of Anne & Valentin’s founders, and to their enduring love for Jean Cocteau — whose freedom and poetry lit their way from the very beginning.
LUOS is a fantastical, mythological object. Answering no request, fulfilling no need, LUOS becomes — by essence — something singular, and utterly essential.
Designed in France, of course, LUOS was then crafted in Japan, home to the titanium masters of this world, where it was then carefully plated in 18-carat gold. Behind its exuberant, theatrical presence lies flawless execution. The mold used to shape it is an exercise in obsession. The stamping of the metal draws on ancient heritage and Japanese mastery. Its intricate mechanics — echoes of haute horlogerie — seem to pause mid-breath — suspended, shifting, alive. And the lashes? They seal the vision — turning the frame into a precious, poetic jewel.
LUOS rests in its own bespoke case, complete with a certificate of authenticity. Only 150 pieces exist. Not one more. It is meant to be displayed on its sculptural base — designed as a stable mobile, or stabile — housed in a separate box.
LUOS is made for singular souls — carried by the wind of turning pages, seeking a gaze as personal as a heartbeat. A gaze unafraid of night, or of time.
LUOS travels between dimensions, from one star to the next — becoming a mirror to the Other, as if to cast its reflection back toward the one who dares to look.
