Athena Calderone loves a tapered candle for the verticality it brings to a table setting—by breaking up the plane, you create visual intrigue that encourages the eye to dance across the table. Her elongated tapers add warmth in a spiced honey hue, creating soft, flickering ambiance high above the dining table. An extra-special version of a decorating essential, this boxed pair of yellow dipped candles makes a luxurious, just-because gift.
