Onno

Akosua L Candle

A true nose with over 25 years of experience, Ilse Vandeputte has always been fascinated by scents, textures, and dreamlike light. An exotic trip to Africa inspired her to create ONNO, a brand praised worldwide for working only with the finest raw materials.

Each candle is handmade in Belgium by qualified craftsmen, using pure mineral wax and fine Egyptian cotton wicks, and poured into handcrafted glass containers produced with the utmost respect for the environment.

The sublime hand cutting on this collection is created with two layers of glass, in two different colours, creating a warm tone burning effect despite the crisp white exterior. In fact, when Akosua is lit, the flames create a stunning summer glow that reminds you of sunset, hence the name Akosua which means “born on Sunday” in the Akan language of Ghana.

Glorinha Paranaguá

Clutch Tania

At the age of 64, after a lifetime of travels with her diplomat husband, Glorinha Paranaguá returned to Brazil and created the iconic bamboo clutch, paying homage to Brazilian craftsmanship and the country she had missed so dearly. "It took two years to achieve perfection. She wanted a hit, and she got it," recalls her daughter-in-law, Naná Paranaguá, who helms the brand together with her daughter, since Glorinha’s passing in 2019.

The signature bag is labouriously handmade juxtaposing dozens of little pieces of bamboo.

It features a full grosgrain interior, as well as a silk tassel, available in multiple colours to perfectly complement any outfit.

Studio Bongard

Fish Sculpture

Anglo-Portuguese Tara Bongard and Swiss Sylvain Bongard have both chosen Portugal as their home, her in 2025, him in 1980. Together, they created Studio Bongard and through their artistic background and profound appreciation for nature, started interpreting local wildlife, fauna, and the human form.

Each ceramic sculpture is individually moulded by hand in stoneware clay, then undergo a twelve-hour firing process, followed by an anxious 24-hour cooling time before the kiln door can be opened and the magic can be revealed.

Creating from photographic memory, the Bongards capture the essence of the surrounding nature. The unique colours and textures are achieved using natural materials like wood ash from local oak trees, dirt, sand, and seaweed from the Portuguese coast, creating one-off results that awaken the senses.
