Candles are the new flowers

While flowers assorted our most important moment in life: from birth and romance to marriage and

procreating, there is only one comparable modern-day object that mystically embodies the same

symbolism: scented candles.

In a noisy world where a new awareness is arising, scented candles have become a companion in our

most fulfilling and luxurious quest: stillness and calm.

Calming Park presents from February 5th – 20th 2010 the exhibition “Art & Candle” at Holm, Zürich

A selection of CALMING PARK candles will be available for purchase in the boutique.

The work of seven internationally renomated artists, reveals how the stillness and calm of scented candles

meet luxury, fashion, music, spirituality, graphic and visual arts.

THE PROJECT

“For the Art&Candle project, I was inspired by the nature of light and shadows in people’s personalities.

Only when we can see and accept shadows and light in all people, circumstances and situations do we

have any hope of becoming whole.

We’re so fractured, especially in how we direct our attention, I thought a sunken hearth in the home

could be one way to bring us back into focus.”
