The flickering flame from a candle can be mesmerising. Candlelight creates a wonderfully romantic ambience, offering soft and warm light. Scented candles are excellent for the mind and soul – and immediately make you feel welcome when entering a room.
The Carat candlestick holder from Orrefors was designed by Lena Bergström, who was inspired by jewels and gemstones.

Orrefors is available from Benington in Centro de Negocios Oasis on Marbella’s Golden Mile.
The Kubus candleholder from By Lassen was designed with contemporary functionality in mind and has now gained iconic status. Available from BoConcept Plus Store on the Mijas Road and C. de Negocios Oasis in Marbella (www.plusstore.es).
