Pietra Galli & Mafalda Costa: Embracing

‘Embracing’ is the collaboration between two childhood friends and artists, merging both mind and spirit through different practices and between different cities, London and Porto. The result is a limited collection of candle holders in black and white stoneware, and candles made of beeswax sourced in Portugal from local beekeepers. Each candle is made specifically to its holder, as a joined force, expressing shared ideas of protection, care and connection.
