We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with WAX Atelier as part of our Autumn/Winter 2024 collection.
Tactility formed the starting point of this collection, which is inspired by feeling. Knitwear — a reliable heirloom within the modern closet — is celebrated for its emotive and joyful presence as a daily go-to, no matter the mood or moment. We pay homage to the sentimentality of supremely soft sweaters, and the feelings of comfort that are evoked when pulling on a preferred knit.
Inspired by the above, and our continued commitment to champion craftsmanship in all its forms, we have collaborated with WAX Atelier on a limited-edition range of hand-dipped candles. A London-based studio, WAX Atelier specialise in creating one-of-a-kind, handcrafted wax products and beeswax candles. The majority of their materials are sourced locally, and products are manufactured in small batches using low impact processes. Created in London using traditional candle dipping techniques, this exclusive collection features candles crafted from natural beeswax in three of our new seasonal colours – Cosmic Violet, Estate Blue and Red Jasper.
The limited range comes in stubby and tapered sizes and will be sold in pairs. An exclusive gifting range of six dining candles will be hand-wrapped in paper depicting our 240-year birthday mural, painted by artist Melissa White. For SS24, we released a collection of ceramics with artist Celia Dawson, each of these limited-edition homeware ranges celebrates the best of British craftsmanship.
