Candle Four: Yoyogi

We've teamed up with Comme des Garçons once more to develop our latest signature candle. Bring into your home the woody scent of a run through Tokyo's Yoyogi park on a crisp morning. Featuring notes of cypress, chamomile and oakmoss, this candle will bring the freshness of that experience to your interior with the calming flicker of a flame.

Large mug set caramel

Monocle presents its latest collaboration with Hasami Porcelain, a Japanese ceramics manufacturer from the town of the same name. Hasami Porcelain prides itself on a highly specialised workforce. By giving its employees individual specialist tasks, from shaping and moulding to glazing and firing, the company ensures a consistently exemplary standard of craftsmanship. In this set, the single caramel-coloured cup and matching saucer balances luxury and modesty with an effortless grace.

Yoshino Hinoki oil refill

The scent is built from fresh, deep and spicy notes of cedar wood, sandalwood and cardamom. This oil soaks into the small platform of the Yoshino Hinoki Diffuser, letting the aromatic nature of the wood disperse the fragrance throughout your living space or office.
