Husband-and-wife team Wary Meyers started out in Brooklyn designing interiors for their friends and artsy-types. After a magazine column for Time Out New York and a book, they relocated to Maine, decorated their own Portland apartment which would grace many magazines and countless blogs, and still created interiors and installations back in the city.
Feeling the desire to make a tangible product, they've taken their design sensibilities and infused them into enticingly scented candles, soap and lip balms that they hand-make in their Cumberland, Maine home working in an attached former beauty salon built for the previous lady-of-the-house in the 1980s.
Their soaps are informed with the Meyers' playful wit and panache. Their boldly striped soaps, loosely inspired by Italian design icon Ettore Sottsass's "Superboxes" in fact look more like a design object than anything else, yet are of the highest long-lasting quality and natural ingredients.
