Olearius has entrusted us with the creation of their home candles and packaging. This time, vrai studio turns to object design. These handcrafted candles feature a contemporary design created by us for the XXL line. Made of Limoges porcelain, these two XXL candles are now accompanied by the Heritage candles, in a more accessible size, and matchboxes. The Olearius product line is expanding.
The 1.9-kg porcelain candles, pure bliss, and their smaller 370-g counterparts, the “Héritage” collection, are available in seven fragrances created by the finest perfumers in Grasse
For Olearius, the candle is not a spin-off product. It is a natural extension of the brand into the world of home goods, designed with the same attention to detail as its olive oils.
The project began with a search for French porcelain manufacturers, followed by a prototyping phase to find the exact container that would match the brand’s premium positioning. The choice fell on white Limoges porcelain and black Haute-Vienne porcelain, two noble materials associated with durability and quality. The artistic direction for the packaging is identical to that of the olive oil. The product photography creates a minimalist aesthetic, with compositions based on contrasts between materials, ceramic, wax, and natural light. The object is prominent, clear, and authentic. The packaging does not seek to overshadow the object itself.
