Fornasetti candles cost an arm and a leg, but they are so damn pretty that they really do qualify as decorative objets in their own right, don’t you think? I was quite pleased, just this morning as the dog and I were strolling down Christopher street, to note that that they’re now at the spectacular fragrance emporium Aedes De Venustas* —as I’ve never been able to track them down in the States, much less so close to my place of residence. And they’ve got a fantastic e-commerce site, so they might as well be in your backyard as well.
*Truly, if you are at all into this type of thing and a visit to New York is in your plans, you must stop in to this place. At a time when so many stores resemble so many other stores, there is no other place quite like this one.
Sounds like we could use an entire Aedes de Venustas post, don’t you think?
Speaking of which, Certainistes: Has anyone got a red lampshade that isn’t pottery-barn drab or looks like it belongs in a wild west whorehouse?
second that shout out to Aedes de Venustas….Mecca for frag lovers ! I pick lodging based on proximity to that place
I’ve seen them for years at the relatively tiny Chicago Barneys. Surely they are in the New York store?
I’ve always thought those faces were scary looking. Guess I have no taste.
I so totally want that.
I walked by this weekend. The one with the lips is to die for!
Now my Fornasetti obsession is renewed. One of these days.
