Federica Tessari is a brand specializing in decorative candles. The project was born in Florence, thanks to the vision and creativity of Federica Tessari. Always passionate about art and fragrances, her intent was to give life to handmade products able to evoke the intensity of a work of art through the scent, colour and light of a candle.
Federica, in fact, draws inspiration from the suggestions offered by artworks such as Botticelli’s Venus, trying to imagine their essences and scents: thus, the sea foam, flowers and orange trees represented in Botticelli’s work become the key ingredients of “Vento di Venere”, which exudes a fragrance recalling the feeling of the painting through notes of wood, jasmine and orange blossoms. Each item is hand-crafted by Federica: the soft light and refined fragrances they radiate can completely transform the atmosphere of a room, turning each instant into an experience of joy and beauty. Her candles are an invitation to slow down, celebrate the present moment and embrace a different lifestyle, far from the hustle and bustle of modern times.

I was immediately struck by Federica's extraordinary artistic and literary culture, which, however, never denies a marked curiosity, modesty and constant desire to study, deepen and research. Her candles are miniature works of art, which tell a lot about her connection with the city of Florence: an alchemy of fragrances and unmistakable aesthetic languages merge with memories cherished with care and gratitude. Personally, I have donated many of her candles, to those who are able to understand and appreciate such a precious object. One peculiarity that is immediately apparent, in addition to their beauty, is that they diffuse a persistent fragrance even when extinguished, thus immersing the environment in the work of art from which they are inspired. This is because Federica, as a woman and a crafter, boasts a rare quality: she takes her time. Time to be inspired, to research, to design, to test, to renew; each of her works is the result of a meticulous creative, artistic and artisanal process that results with undeniably superfine objects, in which every single detail (from the vase to the packaging, from the inspiration to the fragrance, from the wax to the wick) stand out for higher levels of quality, research and perfection.
