'Architettura - Otto' Lidded Candle

Italian painter, sculptor and engraver Piero Fornasetti considered most objects a canvas. From umbrella stands to side tables to decorative trays, the legendary Italian artist and designer put his signature whimsical mark on over 11,000 objects. The Fornasetti legacy continues today with his son Barnaba, who reinterprets the world famous motifs onto a collection of scented decorative objects.

An iconic Fornasetti design, Architettura is inspired by Italian architect Andrea Palladio. These neoclassical trompe-l’oeil designs have adorned Fornasetti objects such as waste paper baskets and umbrella stands since the 1950s. The lid of the Architettura candle is inspired by roof that is typical to this style of architecture. The candle is made from hand-poured, 100% vegetal wax and fills your home with the warm scent of Otto. Once your candle has burned away, the jar can be used as decoration.
