DESIGN NAME: Pomi d'Umbria Lignea Collection
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Ambiance Fragrance Diffuser
INSPIRATION: The designer tops are made of gilded wood and draw inspiration from the knowledge and experience of wood craftsmen and their work. Using wood taken from picture frames decorated with fruit and leaf molding, they are individually and exclusively handmade with a gold leaf finish, to become real jewels of the finest, Renaissance-style craftsmanship.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Quality room fragrance convey a sensory experience leading to the discovery of a land rich in charm and history: Umbria, the Green Heart of Italy. The Lignea collection is the result of a careful study of each individual component, to provide the customer with high quality products that speak of tradition and at the same time of the modern world... carrying the hallmark for Made in Italy products.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: A spray version is available to intensify the fragrances of the Lignea Collection and spread their scented notes through interior spaces in a simple and natural way. Finally, once you have used up the fragrances from the Collection, you can choose to continue on your scented journey with our special refills, or use the designer tops as exclusive items and accessories: the designer tops can become original paperweights.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in February 2020 in Perugia (Italy) and the collection was presented for the first time in October 2021 at Rastrello Boutique, a luxury hotel in Panicale, and was exhibited in February 2022 at Umbria-Toscana Bank, a regional finantial institution in piazza IV Novembre in Perugia, one of the most beautiful piazzas of Italy.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The designer Elisabetta Furin was instrumental in leading us to research an extraordinary material: wood. Through the emotional experience of room fragrances, Pomi is all about combining quality craftsmanship with local culture. So, the Lignea Collection becomes an opportunity to take a trip down memory lane and discover the treasures of this land. Even as a child, Elisabetta was in awe of the magnificent gold decorations seen on church altars, and through her studies she learned to appreciate their great artistic value and craftsmanship.
CHALLENGE: For the designer Elisabetta Furin, who is passionate about cultural anthropology, the design of a product must draw on the historical roots of local areas and influence craftsmanship and artistic expression with contemporary sensitivity.
