Description

Subtle, sculptural, and undeniably elegant — the Velluto Cenere dinner candles channel the quiet strength of Italian design. Hand-pounded and crafted with care, each candle stands impressively tall at 30cm, with a graceful ribbed silhouette inspired by the grand columns of Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio. The ash grey tone, soft and impressive, echoes classical stone, aged frescoes, and the classic calm of heritage interiors. Their matte velvet finish adds a luxurious tactility, transforming even the simplest setting into something layered and thoughtful. While distinctly striking in scale, they are still designed to fit all standard dinner candle holders — a rare balance of form and function. This set of two candles makes a distinguished choice for formal dinner parties, curated tablescapes, weddings, gallery-style home décor, or simply as everyday centrepieces for those who appreciate artisan touches. Only made in small annual batches due to the complexity of the hand-pounding process, offering just a slight variation that speaks to their unique making. Velluto Cenere is a quiet indulgence, an ode to shadowed light, antique beauty, and architectural elegance.

Do you know…

Tucked within the heart of Florence, beyond the grand stone façade of the Palazzo Vecchio, lies a hidden courtyard of breathtaking symmetry and poise. This space—the Cortile di Michelozzo—was redesigned in 1453 to welcome visiting dignitaries with splendour and grace. But it was in 1565, for the lavish wedding of Francesco I de' Medici and Joanna of Austria, that it truly became a jewel of the Renaissance. The columns you see here are not merely supports; they are sculptural masterpieces—fluted shafts crowned with intricately carved capitals, each one a quiet hymn to proportion and beauty. The walls and vaulted ceilings were adorned by Giorgio Vasari, filled with painted allegories and golden heraldry to honour the Medici dynasty’s might and refinement. It is from this very place—the geometry, the rhythm, the layered elegance of light and shadow—that the Velluto candle collection draws its soul. Every vertical groove in the candle’s surface is a soft echo of those Florentine columns. The matte finishes mirror the aged stone and muted frescoes. And just as this courtyard was once reserved for grand moments of celebration, our Velluto candles are made to bring heritage into everyday ritual—whether through candlelit dinners, elegant weddings, or simply as sculptural treasures for your home.
