The Shelter is excited to share 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 – a purity of line and intention that mirrors 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 of object of reflection. L’Apparition continues Rick Owens’ exploration of rawness refined. It is an extension of his world – elemental, architectural and deeply human.
200g Candle, with 40-hour burn time. Handmade and hand-poured in France. RRP457
Available exclusively at The Shelter, 78 Mackelvie Street.
