FRIENDS OF LÍKAMI — Pauline D’Haenens of Mon Dada

Some brands are born from a business plan.
Others from pure necessity, ambition, and a refusal to give up.

Mon Dada was born in New York, at a time when founder Pauline D’Haenens unexpectedly lost her work permit and suddenly found her career on hold.
Where many would have panicked, Pauline chose a different path: she built her own brand.
Not just any brand, but a luxurious lifestyle label where design, scent and atmosphere come together.

What began in her NYC apartment, where she hand-crafted concrete vessels and obsessively worked towards creating the perfect candle, grew into an internationally recognised Belgian design brand now sold in dozens of countries.

A story of courage, vision, and uncompromising standards.
Exactly why Pauline feels like such a natural Friend of Líkami.

Why Mon Dada & Líkami just make sense

Although our worlds may appear different, they are rooted in exactly the same belief:

That luxury lies in how something makes you feel.
That daily routines deserve to be more than functional.
And that beauty lives in the details.

Where Líkami approaches skincare as ritual,
Mon Dada creates the atmosphere around it.

This collaboration never felt like just a partnership,
but rather a natural match.
