The Shelter has announced the arrival of the Rick Owens candle L’Apparition.
L’Apparition is both an object and an experience, handcrafted and hand-poured in France.
This vegetable-based candle is housed in a weighty, reusable black glass vessel derived from Owens’ iconic furniture range.
Inspired by modernist design and brutalist architecture, the form conveys a sense of discipline and a purity of line and intention that mirror his sculptural approach to space and object.
The fragrance reveals itself in layers: lotus, labdanum, myrrh, frankincense, and ambergris. Notes that rise and fall, grounding, meditative, quietly powerful.
Each element is drawn from ethically sourced essential oils and natural extracts, produced with environmental consideration in mind.
Once the final flame fades, the vessel remains. A new form of function, ready to be reimagined as a vase, sculpture or object of reflection.
L’Apparition has continued Rick Owens’ exploration of rawness, refined. It is an extension of his world, elemental, architectural and deeply human.
Handmade and hand-poured in France, the 200g Candle has a 40-hour burn time. Available exclusively at The Shelter from the 8th of November.
