推开雕刻木门，外部世界的节奏仿佛瞬间远去。整间空间慢慢 安静下来，将人温柔包裹其中：温暖的 adobe 泥墙、樱桃木天花 板、来自意大利北部的 Cotto Lombardo 地砖，上面刻有蜿蜒 回旋的徽记；墙面上的青铜灯具采用创始人亲自设计的合金铸 造而成，散发出柔和而丰盈的光。空间中央，一张专为这家艺廊 手工雕刻而成的蛇形木桌优雅延展，其上陈列着105只香水瓶， 构成我们所见过最令人惊艳的视觉中心。 这里，是 Fueguia 1833 在西海岸的首家艺廊，于今春落址南海 岸广场。它并不只是一个店铺。它更像一座小教堂，又或者，一间 实验室——而这恰恰正是创始人 Julián Bedel 当初的设想。 始于巴塔哥尼亚 Fueguia 1833 创立于2010年的阿根廷，是 Bedel 的心血之 作——他是一位艺术家、自学成才的调香师，也是本土植物学的 痴迷研究者。品牌名称指向 Tierra del Fuego，也就是美洲最 南端那片荒野而壮阔的土地。正是从这里出发，Bedel 在现代香 水世界中构建出一个极为罕见的体系：一个从植物研究、原料开 发、香气配方到最终生产，皆由同一审美意志贯穿的垂直整合香 氛品牌。每一款香气皆限量发行，而其复古香水档案则在安静中 陈放超过五年，等待时间赋予它们更深一层的性格。 Bedel 曾说： “我对香气的理解，始终是由一种与神性相连接的 方式所驱动。”若换作别人，这句话或许听上去像某种营销辞藻； 但放在 Bedel 身上，它更像一份创作宣言。 艺廊 South Coast Plaza 这处面积逾70平方米的空间，同样由 Bedel 本人设计，也是品牌继纽约两家艺廊之后，在美国的第 三处据点。每一家 Fueguia 艺廊都共享一套视觉语言：中央木 桌、深蓝色帷幔、以及那些带有仪式感的手工细节；但与此同时， 每一处空间也都回应着其所在之地的气质。针对橙县这家新艺 廊，Bedel 从加州别墅与美国西南 adobe 建筑传统中汲取灵感。 雕刻木门后方延展出的展示壁龛，亦兼作陈列窗口，柔化了艺廊 与外部世界之间的边界；而仿照日式 tokonoma 壁龛而设计的 陈列架——原本是日本住宅中专门留给艺术与静思的空间—— 则承托出品牌更完整的宇宙：Atlas de Ingredientes、Fueguia Casa、Bitácora de Composición、Pura Esencia。 最终呈现出的，是一种刻意营造的慢节奏。在 Fueguia 的艺廊 里，人并不是在“购物”，而是在“经历”它。 Step through the carved wooden doors and the rhythm of the world outside falls away. The room truly settles around you: warm adobe walls, a cherry wood ceiling, floors of Cotto Lombardo sourced from northern Italy and engraved with a curling emblem. Bronze wall lamps, cast in an alloy designed by the founder himself, throw a low and generous light. At the center of the space, a sinuous wooden table—serpentine, hand-carved for this gallery alone—holds 105 bottles, showcasing the most glorious centerpiece we’ve ever seen. This is Fueguia 1833’s first West Coast gallery, opened this spring at South Coast Plaza. This is not simply a store. It feels closer to a chapel, or perhaps a laboratory—which, as it happens, was exactly founder Julián Bedel’s vision. A Patagonian Beginning Fueguia 1833 was born in 2010 in Argentina, the vision of Bedel: artist, self-taught perfumer, obsessive student of native botanicals. The name gestures to Tierra del Fuego, the wild southern tip of the Americas. From that beginning, Bedel built something rare in modern perfumery: a vertically integrated house where botanical research, ingredient development, formulation, and production all happen with one artistic mind. Every scent is released in limited editions. An archive of vintage perfumes ages quietly for more than five years, their character deepening with time. “My approach to scent has always been driven by connecting with the divine, in a way,” Bedel has said. It is the kind of line that could sound like marketing from a less singular figure. From Bedel, it reads as a thesis statement. The Gallery The South Coast Plaza space, over 70 square meters, designed by Bedel himself, is the house’s third in the United States, following two galleries in New York City. Each Fueguia gallery shares a com- mon vocabulary: the central wooden table, the deep blue drapes, the handcrafted details that suggest ritual. But each also speaks to its place. For Orange County, Bedel drew on California villa and Southwestern adobe traditions. Carved doors open onto niches that double as windows of display, softening the boundary between the gallery and the world beyond. Shelving modeled on the tokonoma— the alcove Japanese homes reserve for art and contemplation—holds the fuller universe of the brand: Atlas de Ingredientes, Fueguia Casa, Bitácora de Composición, Pura Esencia. The effect is a kind of intentional slowness. You do not shop at a Fueguia gallery so much as experience one. 41 BALLIET + WANG LUXURY LIVING
