There is something inherently intimate, almost meditative, about creating with one’s hands. It is from this very place that the collaboration between The Candle Cluub and A Catamè takes shape: a meeting rooted in a shared vision of Italian craftsmanship as a contemporary language, where material, time, and intention quietly converge.
Both the candle and its vessel are entirely handmade. Each piece carries its own subtle uniqueness, shaped by gesture and process, imperfect in the most meaningful way. Not merely an object, but a tactile narrative where care and slowness become part of the experience.
At the heart of the project lies a simple yet thoughtful idea: circularity. Once the candle has burned through, its life does not end, it evolves. The vessel, crafted from natural materials, is designed to be washed and reused: as a cup for an iced latte, a bowl for fruit or gelato, or anything one wishes it to become. A gentle invitation to extend the lifespan of objects and to rediscover their value beyond a single purpose.
The chosen fragrance is Tomato Leaf. An intense, green and aromatic composition that instantly evokes the vitality of a Mediterranean garden. It opens with a vibrant burst of green accords; at its heart, tomato leaf intertwines with basil, creating a fresh yet softly aromatic blend. The base settles into a subtle gourmand accord, leaving behind a warm, lingering trace.
It is a candle that smells of summer and earth, of sun-warmed leaves and quiet rituals. An object not only to be lit, but to be lived with and reimagined.
