London: Natural History Museum and Chinese New Year

We spent a lovely day in London last sunday. First we visited the Natural History Museum: it was my first time there and I was really excited to meet dinosaurs and all the animals from the smallest invertebrate to the giant blue whale. 

Then we went into Chinatown where we find the Chinese New Year of the Dragon's parade. It was really nice admire the Lion Dances pass through the streets to bring good luck to the households and shops they visited. I love the lamps and decoration of London’s West End. 

Definately I spent a nice sunday!

Fornasetti "Civetta candle"

Immagina di adorare Fornasetti, le candele e i gufi in generale.

Una bella sera scopri che le tue passioni si sono fuse in un unico oggetto.

Come resistere?

I love this scented candle in a lidded ceramic 'civetta' container from the Theme & Variations series by Fornasetti. I hope one day this large candle will set to light up my living space.

Fornasetti’s reproduction of Lina Cavalieri’s face on everyday objects such as plates and trays blends a flair for surrealist art and homeware, with humour and elegance. The company is now run by Fornasetti’s son Barnaba, who has added new collections which contribute to the eclectic style of his father, who sadly passed away in the 1980’s.
