Daniel W. Fletcher dinner

This Project was an early interation of our August oyster candles — the brief was to make a low cande that encouraged conversation across the table and that spoke to the setting of the beach front DWF store. The oysters sat amongst floral design by Mahal Kita making for a chic naturalistic tablescape. —

August curated an evolving book and zine section for the Tuner Contemporary Gallery retail space throughout 2023.

Italian Wedding

Citrus fruit candles infused with a blend of neroli, orange peel and lavender oils. Made for an intimate celebration amongst citrus groves in the Italian countryside. The candles were used as both wedding favours and table-scape elements. —
