Losanghe Otto Scented Candle 300g

Infuse your home with the luxe charms of Fornasetti with the Losanghe candle – scented with the Italian house’s Otto fragrance, and housed in a fine ceramic vessel.

The iconic countenance of designer Piero Fornasetti’s muse, Italian opera singer Lina Cavalieri, is depicted here in a stylised ‘lozenge’ layout that is reminiscent of both Art Deco architecture and mid-century geometrics. The ceramic jar houses an allergen-free vegetable wax candle, infused with Fornasetti’s redolent Otto scent. Instantly recognisable as one of the Italian label’s signature designs, it will fill your home with the rich aroma of lavender, thyme, cedar wood, incense and labdanum.

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.
