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.
