The Best Smelling 2011 Calendar. 12 Months Of Designer Candles From Quintessence.

A Calendrier Olfactif- 2011 Candle calendar set by Quintessence
A box of twelve individually packaged candles marked for each month, from Paris based perfumerie Quintessence. From chefs and palmists to fashion designers, each container and scent has been created by a different artist.



Artists include Azzedine Alaia, Association La Voix de l'Enfant, Madison Cox, Frederic Fekkai, Christian Tortu, Jean-Pierre Vigato, François Catroux, Yaguel Didier, Ines Sastre, Jean-Michel Othoniel, Jean-Francois Lesage and Apollonia Poilane.




A very interesting and evocative idea from the fine Parisian distillateur’s Quintessence. Let each month fill your house with a specially curated scent; you can even keep the containers once the candle has burnt down and refill them with tea lights.

First VIENNA DESIGN WEEKs, 3 – 21 October 2007

Vienna presents itself as a lively location for product design
The VIENNA DESIGN WEEKs from 3 to 21 October 2007 will concentrate all the dynamic variety of contemporary Austrian design under a single roof for the first time. It will represent a self-confident Austrian-Viennese entry to the international calendar of festivals and fairs. For a period of two-and-a-half weeks Vienna will present itself as a pulsating creative location. Under the label VIENNA DESIGN WEEKs a variety of important institutions and protagonists as well as partners from the world of business will come together. Creative designers will link with the producers of design objects. The VIENNA DESIGN WEEKs, which will be held annually, hone the perception of design, illustrate different approaches and, above all, stimulate a delight in design.

Here's a sneak peek at some of the items from their Young Swiss Design Entrants:
