Flora Scented Candle 300g

Fusing flawless design with olfactory excellence, this Fornasetti Flora scented candle releases a white floral aroma when burned.

The soft, delicate fragrance of this candle is inspired by the lush botanicals that envelop the Fornasetti house in Milan. The face of operatic muse Lina Cavalieri is shown in the guise of the Roman fertility goddess Flora – this illustration offers an artful aesthetic for your interior, while the candle's fragrance fills your home with an ethereal ambience.

“The sources of inspiration for the Fornasetti visual language are numerous. They come from the past, often from classical and neoclassical art, always with respect for the canons of beauty.”Barnaba Fornasetti

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.
