CONTEMPORARY CERAMICS AND CANDLES
Singapore home and living brand ves. has teamed up with fragrance atelier Candles of Light to launch a collection of ceramic ware and scented products.
The 60-piece range features vessels such as pitchers in colours such as blue, olive and grey (below).
The label is a pet project of creative agency HJGHER, whose founders started crafting ceramics as a hobby in 2012. The ceramics cost between $69 and $279 each.
Selected ves. pieces will come with scented candles from Candles of Light, which include scents such as Dawn, a blend of lavender, citrus and mint; and the dreamy Afterlight, which contains notes of vanilla, amber and oakmoss.
Opting for a scented candle in your candle holder will cost an additional $30 for regular wax or $60 for black wax. Add a 100ml fragrance bottle that comes with diffuser reeds for $30 or purchase scented stones, scent-infused pieces of resin, which cost $30 for 150g.
The collection is available at the In Good Company store at Ion Orchard.
Where: B1-06 Ion Orchard, 2 Orchard Turn
