Set of 2 Borea Candles - Main view

This candle is poured by hand in a white glass container with a glossy white finish printed with the Festina Lente Home logo in black, inspired by the symbols of the crab and the butterfly first appeared on gold coins minted for emperor Augustus in ancient Rome. The capacity of 220 gr (7.7 oz) makes for a total burning time of 45-50 hours. The candle comes in a container with a metal pressure lid. The wax is 100% pure soy wax with no GMO. All the fragrances are vegan, cruelty-free, and phthalate-free. The wick is in cotton and paper. Borea (North in Latin) is reminiscent of fragrant fir and fresh resin. The dark of the afternoon has the scent of fir needles and resin, among notes of eucalyptus and pinecone. It invites us to take deep breaths in between words suspended in white clouds. The brisk air reddens our cheeks while the newly fallen snow creaks under our steps. Everything is silent, illuminated by bright winter stars. Olfactory pyramid: Head: white mint, lemon; Heart: green resin, thyme; Base: cedar wood, fir needle.

Attention to materials and their life cycle guides our production, which has an industrial approach but a strong artisanal character.

ZEUS was founded in 1984 by a group of friends with the desire and pleasure of exchanging experiences in the fields of design, fashion and art, with the aim of sharing their ideas, contaminating each other. They chose the nameZEUS, the divinity per excellence, deliberately with a bit of arrogance. A group of young designers who recognised themselves in a design philosophy of synthesis: the ZEUS group used to propose minimalist, black, chic furniture.
In 1985 ZEUS presented thefirst design collection by Maurizio Peregalli in its own showroom with the 'archetype' products: Chair-Table-Armchair-Savonarola-Bench-Stool. It was the first time, with all due exceptions, that a young company exhibited during the Salone del Mobile in its own showroom, initiating the Fuorisalone, an appointment then consolidated over the years.
This first collection is still in production, a sign of an iconic design that is unconstrained by current trends. The ZEUS catalogue has expanded over time, while maintaining the core principles of the beginnings, to offer timeless minimal products, entirely handmade by Italian craftsmen. Welding, bending and surface treatment, each technique is carried out with special care to maintain high quality standards. Industrial- style materials, such as metal, and artistic handmade finishes are preferred, deliberately irregular, unpredictable, enhancing the raw material used: each table, chair or complement thus becomes a unique and precious piece.
