La Soufflerie’s boutique, at 7 rue de l’Odéon in the 6th arrondissement began its history in 1915 as a bookstore owned by Adrienne Monnier.
Monnier opened one of the first women-held bookstores of her time. In 1919, she befriended and became partners with Sylvia Beach, an American bookseller and publisher, and helped her set her shop up at 7 rue de l’Odéon. Their collaboration and great friendship aroused the interest of many intellectuals. Over the years, the bookstore changed and even transformed into an art gallery. The facade has always remained the same.
The passion continues in this historical building as Valentina and Sébastien spent months restoring and renovating the interior of the store to its original state. After all this hard work, we can proudly say that 7 rue de l’Odéon is now La Soufflerie’s new home. Presenting our unique creations that are mouth-blown entirely out of recycled glass. You will also discover our terracotta pieces, hand-poured candles, and a special edition of plaster artworks that represent a piece of history of the 6th arrondissement.

Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/2-cm in length. This allows the candle to burn more slowly and also avoid unsightly black smoke marks around the edge of the glass.
Every time you burn your La Soufflerie candle, allow it to burn at least until the whole top of the candle is liquid. This will help your candle burn more evenly for each burning session.
After blowing out your candle, re-center and straighten the wick.
When using your candlestick holder, do not let the flame touch the glass. Blow the candle out once it gets close to the candle stick holder. Do not place your candle on a cool surface like marble. If the bottom of the hot candle comes in contact with a cold material, the glass may crack.
Do not burn your candle all the way down. Leave at least 1/2-cm of wax in the container to avoid cracking the bottom.Once you have finished burning your candle, hand wash with warm water and soap until the dried wax melts away. You now have a new La Soufflerie piece to use!
All plaster and terracotta pieces are not suitable for use with water. You can dust each piece with a dry cloth.
These are entirely made by hand and each creation is unique. Therefore, there may be a slight variation in color, texture, and size between each piece. On the base of each item, you can feel the pontil mark left by the glassblower’s cane. The presence of this mark indicates that the glass was blown freehand. This is the beauty of handmade.
We do recommend handwashing as much as possible to avoid scratches from the dishwasher and to keep the glass sparkling. But, know that our glassware is dishwasher resistant and can be cleaned in the dishwasher
Pigmented glass is mixed into the furnace during the glassblowing. This means that the glass itself is colored instead of painted. Our glass is durable and no changes or fading occur with continued use over time.
