Scent your home with Fornasetti

June 1, 2014 by Marcus·0 Comment

Famously known for his black and white portraits, these candles take the work and legacy of legendary painter Fornasetti and add a stunning, colourful twist. This popular range of scented candles has been given a new, modern life with the addition of colourful, new designs that act as a beautiful ornament in your room as well as letting a gentle fragrance drift through your home.

The gorgeous Giardino Segreto (that’s “secret garden” for those of you not fluent in Italian!) combines gorgeous foliage with a quirky crowd of owls- peeking out from between the leaves and pillars that adorn the crockery.

The candle is designed to diffuse in varying segments, meaning that the fragrance will change the longer you keep the candle burning. This helps to avoid the sense of being over powered by the scent, which can be the case with other ranges of scented candles. This one will fill your home with scents of the garden, ranging from the scent of fresh greenery to a more herbaceous fragrance as the candle burns.

The other lovely new range that has been launched is the Flora di Fornasetti- taking a classic image and giving it a new, modern make-over with elegant flashes of colour in the shape of dainty flowers. The scent is also based on a more floral arrangement than the Giardino Segreto and will take you from a rich, fruit-like fragrance to an aromatic, sandalwood scent.

Beautiful as they are, these candles to come with quite a price tag (ranging between £65-£300 depending on the size) but they are certainly something that we love enough to start saving those pennies!

tuiss Love :: Rough Luxe

November 30, 2009 by Vanessa·1 Comment

Rough Luxe is one of the hottest things around and here at tuiss we adore the idea, it’s a worldwide brand and includes hotels, shops and restaurants. Rough Luxe mixes up the old and the new, whether it be objects, the furniture or the building itself. Luckily we have a hotel in London which is currently the place to be seen.

At London’s Rough Luxe hotel you can expect to find distressed walls sitting comfortably alongside beautiful fittings and luxurious fabrics. If you just fancy dipping just your toe into Rough Luxe then you can always drop in for a bite to eat. Even if it’s not your cup of tea, it’s difficult not to be moved by the RL concept of luxury. Maybe we all have a little luxury in our lives?

It is a new way of looking at luxury as part of time and not just as an object of consumption. Luxury should be an enriching personal experience and not simply the ownership or utilisation of an expensive object. It is a different definition of luxury: time for reflection, the intellectual value of objects – of art, nature, culture, our environment and the people around us, of social and cultural experiences linked to locations as well as the ‘consumable’ items; food, lifestyle objects and events.
