Valentino

Valentino is a convergence of hard and soft elements. This thick, crystal-clear glass is shaped like a heart - the universal symbol of care, warmth and love. By also giving the heart a bulging shape, Martti Rytkönen has made the glass almost appear to be pulsating. 

The votive candle holder has a round hole, allowing the candle to sink down just until the flame is visible through the glass, but still reaching up over the edge. The manufacturing technique of the bowl gives the inner edges a gently rounded look. Fill it with classic love letters written on paper, or with a little water and a few roses floating on the surface. The collection launched in 2010.
