About Tulip Kanleraar

Tulip is in kearamyske kanleraar dy't ûntwurpen is om gewoane geurkânnels yn te hâlden. De foarm fan Tulip is ûntliend oan de foarm fan in tulpebloem. Iepenings tusken de blêden litte ta dat in baarnende lucifer der trochhinne kin, sadat de kânnel maklik oanstutsen wurde kin. De kanleraar mjit 55 by 55 by 70 millimeter. As de kânnel baarnt, wurdt it lytse flamke wjerspegele yn it smelten wask en komt der in sêfte geur frij. Tulip is bedoeld om it oanstekken fan kânnels ienfâldich te meitsjen en om in rêstige húslike sfear foar rêst en meditaasje te stypjen.
