HOT ! Fornasetti Giorno e Notte Candle

A giant in the world of Italian mid-century design, Pietro Fornasetti saw every object as as canvas. Inspired by both classic Italian art and the burgeoning Surrealist movement, the visionary artist and designer created a prolific collection of imaginative, otherworldly illustrations throughout his lifetime, which he used to decorate his never-ending line of furniture and home accessories — art for everyday use, as he called it. Our Fornasetti Giorno e Notte Candle is housed in a handmade porcelain jar adorned with anthropomorphic suns and moons in a stark black-and-white palette with touches of hand-applied gold leaf. Fornasetti created many variations of these curious celestial bodies throughout his career, using them to explore the contrast between day and night, light and dark, masculine and feminine. Inside this stunning keepsake vessel, you’ll find a natural vegetable wax candle, infused with the brand’s iconic Immaginazione scent — an intoxicating fragrance from master perfumer Olivier Polge that blends Mediterranean herbs from Casa Fornasetti’s garden with notes of cedar and sandalwood for a woody, aromatic and decidedly Italian feel. A luxurious piece of true Italian heritage, it’s the perfect way to bring a bit of la dolce vita to any room of the house — or an indulgent gift to your favorite Italophile.
