The Design

About Tulip Candeeiro

Tulip é un candeeiro de cerámica deseñado para soster velas perfumadas comúns. A forma de Tulip inspírase na forma dunha flor de tulipán. Os espazos entre as pétalas permiten que pase un misto aceso, de xeito que a vela se pode acender con facilidade. O candeeiro mide 55 por 55 por 70 milímetros. A medida que a vela arde, a pequena chama reflíctese na cera derretida e libérase unha suave fragrancia. Tulip pretende facilitar o acendido das velas e favorecer un ambiente doméstico calmo para o descanso e a meditación.
