Founded in 1961 at 34 Boulevard Saint‑Germain in Paris by three multidisciplinary artists—Christiane Gautrot (interior designer), Desmond Knox‑Leet (painter), and Yves Coueslant (theatre director)—Diptyque began as a boutique showcasing unique fabrics, wallpapers, and exotic curiosities from their travels. The facade, resembling a diptych (two-panel art piece), inspired the name Diptyque.
