The Design

About Tulip Bougeoir

Tulip est un bougeoir en céramique conçu pour accueillir les bougies parfumées courantes. Sa forme s'inspire de la silhouette d'une fleur de tulipe. Les interstices entre les pétales permettent le passage d'une allumette enflammée, afin que la bougie puisse être allumée en toute facilité. Le bougeoir mesure 55 par 55 par 70 millimètres. À mesure que la bougie se consume, la petite flamme se reflète dans la cire fondue et un doux parfum se diffuse. Tulip a pour vocation de simplifier l'allumage des bougies et de favoriser une atmosphère domestique paisible, propice au repos et à la méditation.
