PyroPet: Candles, Iceland and Kisa
15:26
I’ve always been a fan of little quirky ornaments that
people use to decorate their homes, I'm not going to lie, I’ve watched
countless room tours and scoured pinterest.com for ideas for any future home I
may own.
I’m also one of those people who will smell every single
candle in a shop. I haven’t bought very many candles myself but my nose is one
of the most sensitive parts of me. My sense of smell can trigger memories, just
by catching the scent of something.
A while back while in Belgium I received an email about an
Icelandic designer who had created a candle called a PyroPet. Immediately the
word Icelandic caught my eye, any time I think of Iceland I think beautiful,
creative and otherworldly. So I decided to do some research and I was
immediately excited. I have many friends interested in cats and candles, so to
see a mash up of that was so cool. So when I told PyroPet I was interested in taking a look, it took only a few days for them to send me out a candle to try it out!
The candle itself is really solid, taller than my hand
standing up
(17 x 7.5 x 11.5 cm).
My candle is called Kisa, and is very obviously a cat. When I researched the
word Kisa, I found Kisa the cat is related to an old Icelandic fairy tale.
It was almost too pretty to light, but I really wanted to
see what it looked like with a flame. I can imagine how stylish and spooky a room
would look if it were full of these fiery felines (poetry at its best). The
product has 20 hours lighting time if left alight.
Other products by the same company include: Dýri
(deer), Hoppa (rabbits), Bíbí (bird) and miniature versions of these. Colours
available are grey, pink, black, blue and yellow. You can buy directly
from the company’s website, and they also retail in shops such as Urban Outfitters and more. Although I think this candle would be so stylish any time of
the year, the element of the inner metal skeleton framework adds a little edge
and spookiness to it. For that reason, it’s also ideal for Halloween.
I was absolutely thrilled that PyroPet Candles approached me
and asked me to take a look at the product because for one, it means my blog is
getting out there and two, it’s been amazing to try this cool candle out! So thank you so much to PyroPet for sending this candle to me.
Hope you liked the look of this!
