Fornasetti expands its home fragrance collection with a fresh lineup of exquisitely designed scented candles. Blending artistry with function, these elegant porcelain pieces serve as both decorative objects and sensory experiences, ideal for collectors and design enthusiasts alike.

As for Fornasetti’s vision, home fragrances become an extension of design, adding warmth and sophistication to any space. The new collection features a refined cylindrical shape adorned with six iconic decorations, all infused with the brand’s signature Immaginazione fragrance—a woody, aromatic blend poured by hand from high-quality wax.

Each candle is a masterpiece, showcasing hand-applied motifs from Fornasetti’s historical archive. A hand-painted gold ring at the base enhances their timeless appeal. The collection explores three central themes: architecture, celestial elements, and the enigmatic face of opera singer Lina Cavalieri.
• Architectural Wonders: The Casa con colonne and Architettura designs play with perspective, creating miniature dreamlike cityscapes. The stackable form of these candles allows for imaginative arrangements.
• Celestial Charm: Soli e Lune and Giorno e Notte feature anthropomorphic suns and moons, engaging in silent cosmic dialogue. The interplay of black, white, and gold adds a striking visual contrast.
• Timeless Elegance: The famous Tema e Variazioni series returns with Tra le nuvole and Silenzio, capturing Cavalieri’s ethereal beauty among clouds or in serene contemplation.

Beyond their primary function, these candles invite creativity—stack them to create unique compositions or repurpose them as stylish containers once the wax is gone. Each piece embodies Fornasetti’s signature blend of whimsy and refinement, transforming everyday objects into works of art.

As Barnaba Fornasetti, the brand’s artistic director, mentions it: “A scented candle welcomes guests with an immediate sense of warmth and beauty—especially when paired with an imaginative design.”
