Inspired by the vanitas still lifes of the 17th century — a theatre of ripening, melting, and eventual ruin — each candle begins pristine: a sugared fruit, a cut of cheese, a gloss y pastry. Slowly, with the warmth of its own flame, colours soften, forms slump, and perfection gives way to impermanence. Echoing the spirit of the memento mori, these hyper-realistic candles take their cues from the royal kitchens and banquets of France. Made in London, exclusively for Choosing Keeping. Show more
