About Tulip Candelièr

Tulip es un candelièr de ceramica concebut per accuèlhir de candèlas perfumadas comunas. La forma de Tulip s'inspira de la forma d'una flor de tulipa. Los espacis entre las petalas permeton a un fulminant alucat de passar a travèrs, çò que permet d'alucar la candèla amb facilitat. Lo candelièr mesura 55 per 55 per 70 millimètres. A mesura que la candèla brutla, la pichona flama se reflectís dins la cera fonduda e un perfum suau se desprèn. Tulip a per vocacion de rendre simple l'alucatge de las candèlas e de sosténer un ambient calme dins l'ostal, propici al repaus e a la meditacion.
