About Tulip Svečnik

Tulip je keramični svečnik, zasnovan za navadne dišeče sveče. Oblika Tulipa izhaja iz oblike tulipanovega cveta. Reže med cvetnimi listi omogočajo, da skoznje potuje prižgana vžigalica, tako da je svečo mogoče brez težav prižgati. Svečnik meri 55 x 55 x 70 milimetrov. Ko sveča gori, se majhen plamen odseva v staljenem vosku, hkrati pa se sprošča nežen vonj. Tulip je zasnovan tako, da poenostavi prižiganje sveč in ustvarja mirno domače vzdušje za počitek in meditacijo.
