Limited Edition Seymour Chwast x Joya "Drafting Table" Candle
Seymour Chwast is a native New Yorker and noted illustrator. He currently has an exhibition at Poster House in Chelsea, NYC which focuses on the impact Push Pin, his studio with Reynold Ruffins, Edward Sorel and Milton Glaser, had on American illustration. Frederick Bouchardy, founder of Joya, has been a fan of Seymour's work for many years. Seymour visited our studio in 2018 and agreed to make us original artwork, inspired by our space, mission and team. The resulting candle is highly limited in an edition of 100, presented in cast porcelain that required extreme care and a tailor-made process involving injected ink into thin layers of relief to evoke a woodblock printing technique. The porcelain was then painted by hand and numbered. Inspiration is the portrait of a solitary artist: Moonlight and warm light on a worn drafting table, pencil shavings, smudged sketches and diagonal waves. We also printed hooded sweatshirts, notecards and lighters to celebrate the occasion. Fragrance N
