Valentino is a convergence of hard and soft elements. The thick, crystal-clear glass is shaped like a heart – the universal symbol of care, warmth, and love. By also giving the heart a protruding shape, designer Martti Rytkönen has made the glass almost appear to be pulsating. The votive holder has a round hole, allowing the candle to sink down just until the flame is visible through the glass, barely 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 water and a few rose petals floating on the surface. The collection was launched in 2010.
