Astronomici Otto Scented Candle 300g

Fornasetti’s Astronomici scented candle is housed in a beautiful ceramic vessel, its celestial design offering a playful reimagining of the zodiac.

This hand-poured Fornasetti scented candle was created to celebrate the house's rich stylistic heritage. Originally unveiled in the 1950s, the layout explores Piero Fornasetti’s ongoing preoccupation with the mysterious worlds of destiny and dreams – suns, stars and moons are hand-applied with gold for an opulent finish. The vegetable wax scented candle features the brand’s woody Otto signature scent – a potent blend of thyme and lavender, birch, balsam and incense, created in collaboration with the master perfumer Olivier Polge.

HOW TO USE

Trim the wick each time before lighting for a longer, cleaner burn. On the first time of lighting, allow the candle to burn for two to three hours until the wax has pooled right to the edge. This will allow for an even burn in future.

Fornasetti is a reliably mischievous player in Italy’s vibrant homeware and design scene. The brand grew out of artist Piero Fornasetti’s lifelong obsession with creating variations – about 500 of them – of the opera singer Lina Cavalieri’s face. He used this motif (alongside swords and suns, monkeys and butterflies, ancient architecture and sardine cans) to create his delightful designs, which adorn everything from Fornasetti plates to Fornasetti cushions and trays. Run by Piero’s son Barnaba, the design house is known for making high-quality work with a uniquely playful streak.
