What sets Michel Design Works apart
One pattern, many formats
Lemon Basil appears on a foaming hand soap, a bath bar, cocktail and luncheon napkins and a caddy set. Beach, Honey Almond and Lavender Rosemary also run across several formats, so a bathroom or kitchen can be matched piece by piece.
Bars milled three times
Triple milling produces a uniform soap that lasts. The bars are oversized at 8.7 ounces, and the Cotton & Linen bar comes out firm and silky smooth.
Fragrances with named notes
Each scent spells out its notes: marine accords, bergamot, amber and watermelon for Beach; spruce with fruit and spice for White Spruce; honey almond for the black-and-white Honey Almond line. Choosing by smell is possible before a bottle is opened.
Packaging that stays on the counter
Foaming soaps arrive in a square container marked with the signature medallion, and the jar candle carries artwork applied directly to its glass. Both are meant to be seen rather than hidden in a cabinet.
What the soaps, napkins and towels are made of
The bath bars start from pure vegetable oil and glycerin with shea butter worked in; for the Cotton & Linen bar the oil is vegetable palm oil. The foaming formulas pair shea butter with aloe vera. A draining soap dish lets a bar dry between uses, which keeps it firm for longer.
Napkins are paper: soft triple-ply for the cocktail and hostess sizes, sturdy 3-ply for luncheon. Count one per guest per course when planning a party. The candle is a soy blend in a lidded jar, and the lid goes back on once the flame is out and the wax has cooled.
The Winter Blooms bar carries a caution: external use only, avoid contact with the eyes, and flush with water if contact happens.

Match the soap to the napkins
Each scent is listed in hand soap, bar and napkin form, so one room can be set in a single pass.
Shop the patternsWho reaches for Michel Design Works, and when
A kitchen sink that never rests
Heavy daily use calls for the foaming format: a 17.8 fl oz bottle with a pump. L'Orange and Lemon Basil bring citrus to the kitchen, and the L'Orange bottle is sized for a hand care caddy when counter space is tight.
A guest bathroom before the holidays
White Spruce, Christmas Bouquet and Nutcracker Suite bars give a powder room a December scent. Set one on a dish by the sink and swap it for a year-round pattern in January.
A host setting out drinks
Cocktail napkins at 5 x 5 inches folded sit under a glass or beside a plate of appetizers. The watery Ocean Tide pattern suits a summer party near the water.
A gift with no guesswork
The Lemon Basil caddy set combines soap and 15 hostess napkins in one chrome holder, so the recipient gets a finished arrangement. When the person's favorite scent is known, add the matching bar.
About the Michel Design Works collection
The label belongs to the Stonewall Kitchen family of brands, alongside brands such as Legal Sea Foods, Napa Valley Naturals, Stonewall Home, Urban Accents, Vermont Coffee Company and Village Candle. Where the wider group spans a line of gourmet food, home goods and gifts, this label covers the bath, the sink and the table.
Three lines make up the range: foaming hand soap in ten scents, bath bars in ten scents, and a table and kitchen line of paper napkins, a kitchen towel, an apron and a jar candle. Patterns such as Lemon Basil and Honey Almond repeat from one line to the next.
The designs draw on antique art from the 18th and 19th centuries, and the name has been on soaps and printed napkins since 1987. Expect colorful, intricate artwork on bottles, wrappers and paper rather than plain packaging.
If you are furnishing one room, start from a scent you like and choose formats around it; for a gift, the pattern counts as much as the fragrance.
