My Favorite Things

Louis-Géraud Castor, who studied archeology and art history at the Sorbonne before becoming an antiques dealer, may not have planned to become the French fashion world’s preeminent florist, but when he traded Art Deco designs for his own subtly striking seasonal bouquets—which he arranges out of a Marais studio—in 2017, he quickly caught the attention of the likes of Chanel, Hermès, and Prada. Here, the born-and-bred Parisian reveals his must-haves, from a Dali-esque objet to the candle he lights up at home
