Details & care
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.
The L’Ape Lidded Candle design is a classic dual-faced reworking of the iconic face of Lina Cavalieri, Italian opera singer and most frequently appearing muse of Piero Fornasetti. In this rendition, her eyes are looking for the buzzing bee featured on the lid. The candle is made from hand-poured, 100% vegetal wax and fills your home the warm scent of Otto. Once your candle has burned away, the jar can be used as decoration.
