Candles are a basic part of the décor in any space, but when using them in the open air it's best to put them inside an outdoor lantern. The Faroles collection emerged from the quest to give this iconic everyday item a new twist to make it a little more desirable. A whole family with up to seven formats and sizes that not only protect candles but also serve as decorative lanterns. Not only at night but during the day as well! We're talking about these colourful red models.
They're made using a powder coated aluminium structure and methacrylate sides in red, a colour that provides a warm ambient light at night-time and adds a splash of colour to a space during the day. These lanterns are portable, so you can them use to create all kinds of mood settings, from lighting a table through to a pathway or a chill-out area. We have these
lanterns in other colours too.
The square format models are available in three sizes: 20, 30 and 40 cm (length x width x height). The vertical format lanterns have a 20 x 20 cm base and you can choose from three heights: 40, 50 or 60 cm. The most horizontal model is 15 x 60 x 15 cm (length x width x height) and you can fit up to five candles inside.
Diabla tips:
These lanterns are perfect if you don't have power points in your outdoor area. In fact, you can make the larger models work really well for you as a complete lighting system.
An arrangement of several lanterns from the Faroles collection will look more attractive if you mix designs with different heights, as this will help you add some rhythm to the composition. For example, imagine a pathway with a series of increasingly bigger lanterns.
In arrangements featuring several models, they don't all have to be matching in terms of format. Be bold and mix square ones with vertical ones. The latter actually fit really well with the 20 x 20 cm square design.
If you have a view of the outside spot where you plan to put the lamp, you can light them at night even when you're at home to make the most of their excellent mood lighting value.
