Venezia candle

Michela Bortolozzi's candles are exclusive design products inspired by Venetian iconic architecture. She reproduces recognisable elements to make moulds for her candles. All the materials used to make the candles are sourced locally: soy wax and recycled materials from local craftspeople. The Giudecca women's prison is also involved in this project as some prison inmates collaborate in the production of the candles, after being trained by Michela.
