Cristina Celestino designs coloured glass holder for Diptyque's first refillable candle
Italian architect Cristina Celestino has designed a coloured glass candle holder in Diptyque's signature oval shape for the brand's first refillable candle.
Created as part of the Les Mondes de Diptyque collection, the candle holder was designed "to achieve a monolithic volume while maintaining a soft, tactile quality".
Refillable wax blocks fit neatly into the glass holder designed by Cristina Celestino
It was created as the brand's first refillable candle and can be used multiple times with replacement oval blocks that fit exactly into the glass form.
According to the brand, it took three years to develop as it needed to ensure the wax would burn evenly in the oval shape and could easily be replaced.
The refillable candle comes in five colours Celestino's design stacks a trio of glass rings on top of each other, which is a reference to Diptyque's three founders and "subtly pays homage to their fruitful creative union".
The vessel was manufactured using a pressed glass technique, also referred to as moulded glass ? a method used to create intricately designed glassware. The process involves placing molten glass into a mould and then using a plunger or a pneumatic device to press the glass into the desired shape.
