Two candles, inspired by Victor Horta’s iconic architecture, have been created to illustrate the city of Brussels.
Victor Horta, a Belgian architect (1861-1947,) is considered to be one of the pioneers of Art Nouveau architecture. He designed the face of Brussels with an instantaneously recognizable architecture, through which he expressed his fascination for curved lines, light, and steel. This collection pays homage to Horta’s legacy of vaulted balconies, as the Brussels Art Nouveau candle.
For the Art Deco candle, available exclusively in one department store by country, we were inspired by a more graphic window design, caracteristic of the art deco movement.
As a Madeleine de Proust, the Brussels Art Nouveau and Brussels Art Deco perfume conjures up visions of bourgeois homes of the late 19th century. With a sophisticated blend of wax, honey, cypress, and sandalwood, memories resurface as they tell tales of the warm interiors and woody scents of child-hood homes.
