HCT France and HCT Metals worked closely with Lancome to produce what the design firm calls “one of the most challenging metal projects we have ever undertaken.” The extraordinary and limited edition “Lotus Splendor” case for Lancome’s autumn/winter color collection features a form inspired by the sacred lotus flower, and a color range influenced by the rich colors and textures of the Maharaja’s palaces and Indian heritage. The lotus head splits open to reveal three petals containing lip and eye products and a mini mirror. Each leaf hinges and clicks back neatly and seamlessly into the weighted base thanks to hidden magnetic closures.
