The Design

About Tulip Candelabro

Tulip es un candelabro de cerámica diseñado para contener velas aromáticas comunes. La forma de Tulip está inspirada en la silueta de una flor de tulipán. Las aberturas entre los pétalos permiten el paso de una cerilla encendida, de modo que la vela puede prenderse con facilidad. El candelabro mide 55 por 55 por 70 milímetros. A medida que la vela se consume, la pequeña llama se refleja en la cera derretida y se libera una suave fragancia. Tulip busca simplificar el encendido de las velas y favorecer un ambiente hogareño sereno, propicio para el descanso y la meditación.
