The cool shadows cast across Renaissance stonework at dusk—Velluto Marrone is a candle that speaks in tones of heritage and grounded beauty. Richly pigmented in a deep chocolate brown, the colour brings depth without heaviness, creating an elegant atmosphere that feels collected and considered. Each candle is hand-pounded into a tall 30cm silhouette with sculptural vertical ribs that echo the language of Florentine architecture—referencing the enduring columns found in the Palazzo Vecchio’s inner courtyard. The surface is finished in a refined matte texture, soft to the eye, with a tactile finish that feels closer to velvet than wax. Designed for table settings that favour refinement over extravagance, these tall tapers lend height and structure to dinner parties, autumn weddings, gallery-style interiors, and quiet moments of ceremony. Though visually commanding, they are made to fit all standard taper candle holders, ensuring ease of use with a universal base. Created in small runs and finished by hand, each piece carries subtle signs of artisan making—where historical reference meets modern sensibility, and beauty is found not in decoration, but in form and intention.
