I recently came across a Vogue article on Rick Owens home in Venice and I fell in love with his bathroom. So serene, designed in the most beautiful neutral tones that mimic the colors of the earth. It’s minimal and modern yet so warm and inviting. I would die to take a shower here, wow!
SHOP THE POST:
I decided to start a new series over here on Kind Of Luxe called Luxe Finds. I wanted a series that I could spotlight on brands, products, articles, etc. that I felt needed their own post! I stumble upon so many awesome finds that end up sitting in my bookmark folder so I decided to give them a little home.
Excited to introduce the first in the Luxe Finds Series:
THE U CANDLE
“Glaze is a Lifestyle product design studio based in New York City. The husband and wife duo behind the studio, Akeem and Stephanie Glaze, launched their namesake in 2017 to create authentic, quality items designed with distinct attention to detail. With equal emphasis placed on form, function, and experience, glaze's products make for arrest- ing, yet subdued, statement pieces for the home. Each piece is carefully crafted and subtly infused with influences from the duo's roots in Palm Beach and the Northeast.”
This stunning candle is not only functional but truly a work of art. I was so shocked at how beautiful and sleek it is as I pulled it out of it’s just-as-well designed box. Made from 100% white beeswax which is naturally bleached through sun exposure, and burns clean. I’m not sure if I will be able to verify this because that means burning the candle which I never want to do!
It’s beautiful shape plus the sleek brass holder is a chic addition to your home.
The U Candle is also a wonderful gift to give for a wedding, to your friends who love candles and well designed products, and of course it’s an amazing host gift. Imagine showing up with this beauty during the holidays!?
Honestly, I’m obsessed with it and have it perfectly placed as the centerpiece of my dinning room table. I now have the Glaze website bookmarked forever because if Akeem and Stephanie Glaze made this stunning candle, I can’t wait to see what else they will create!
You can purchase the U candle on the Glaze Website!

I'm a sucker for good design. Whether it's a product, a website or a letterhead...well thought out design makes me happy.
How lovely is this letterhead and styling for it? The tones are amazing!
I'm a sucker for good packaging...
I always toyed with the idea of studying graphic design because I find it incredibly fascinating. Creating and designing a brand's identity - you are helping them put their best foot forward. I enjoy this the most when it comes to product and packaging design. It's thrilling to me when I open up a well labeled box with my cute product sitting pretty inside. I get even more excited when I can keep the packaging as a 'decorative' part to my product or even better, when I can actually use it (I'm talking about you Glossier, with your cute little pink pouches).
I recently stumbled upon this design concept for Mecca Cosmetica out of Australia designed by Fabio Ongarato. "Simple and bold" as they say, with a beautifully poetic type flowing across the sides...
Any recommendations for great products with great packaging??
