At Thompson Ferrier, I truly believe that every little detail in your home matters. This belief is what shapes my unique candle vessels, setting us apart from the trends other brands follow. In this blog I share the story behind our designs, why they stand out, and the special thought process that brings them to life.
The Origin of Our Designs
My journey into designing candle vessels started with a deep love for meticulous home design. I began by creating model homes, pouring my heart into every little detail to make sure everything looked perfect and contributed to the overall ambiance of the space. During open houses, I noticed something intriguing: while candles added a lovely fragrance, their traditional glass jars often clashed with the rest of the decor. These candles, though functional, didn’t add any visual appeal. We would light them to have a nice scent throughout the house, however I would then usually hide them away, spending 95% of their time out of sight.
A New Vision for Candle Design
This realization sparked a key insight for me: if a candle is going to be part of your home, it should look beautiful and elegant even when it’s not lit. I began dreaming of candles that could proudly sit on coffee tables, dining tables, kitchen counters, or bookshelves, transforming into luxurious elements of your home decor. I aspired to create something that would consistently add value to your space, ensuring our candles are always serving a purpose. This vision led me to design vessels that are not only visually appealing but also deeply connected to nature and spirituality, embodying a true sense of luxury.
Inspired by Nature and Spirituality
My vessel designs are a luxurious blend of inspiration taken from nature's elegance and symbols of spirituality. Each design is carefully crafted to resonate with a sense of familiarity and comfort. For instance, my elephant design symbolizes strength and wisdom, while my Buddha design embodies spirituality and peace. The apple design evokes biblical themes, and the bamboo design brings a sense of tranquility and growth, adding a touch of profound meaning to your space. Even my new designs, like swirls resembling vines on a wall, are rooted in natural elements that we all recognize. This thoughtful approach ensures that our candles seamlessly integrate into any home decor, enhancing your space with effortless elegance.
Aesthetic and Functional Elegance
My designs aren't just about looking good; they're about combining luxury with functionality and meaning. I want our vessels to be visually appealing while also feeling like an integral part of your home's story. This way, they become timeless pieces of art that effortlessly elevate any space. To ensure a cohesive and sophisticated look, I craft our vessels in elegant, neutral colors like black, gold, white, and silver. These shades can complement any decor style, adding a touch of elegance and opulence to your home.
The Thompson Ferrier Difference
Let’s be real – the world didn’t need another candle company. But it did need one like Thompson Ferrier. Most candles are just glass jars with labels that serve their purpose only when lit. I saw a gap and knew we had to fill it. My candles are designed to be significant pieces in the space you live in, looking beautiful even when they’re not lit. This approach ensures our candles are always an important part of your home, providing both decoration and amazing fragrance bouquets.
Crafting Full-Body Fragrances
When it comes to fragrances, I am driven by my passion for full-bodied, rich scents. My mission is to craft fragrance bouquets that whisk you away to places you've been before or dream of visiting. My fragrances are strong, filling your space with their presence even when unlit. This strength is crucial for me, as I want your home to be filled with delightful aromas, making every moment a joyful experience for my customers.
Made in the USA with Love
Every decision I make revolves around providing a positive customer experience. Keeping production in the USA is a personal choice, supporting my local community and ensuring high-quality standards. My employee culture is family-oriented, emphasizing the love and care that we put into every candle. This dedication is evident in the beautifully executed packaging and the thoughtful details that make my candles special.
I am grateful to every customer who has chosen to bring my candles into their homes. Your support allows me to continue creating beautiful, meaningful vessels that enhance your homes. At Thompson Ferrier, our vessel designs are a testament to my passion for creating candles that are as exquisite as they are functional. My candles are designed to be timeless pieces of art that enhance your space even when they're not lit.
