Layering the Bubble and the Mini Bubble

Layering the Bubble and the Mini Bubble

The Bubble and the mini Bubble share one form in two scales. On their own, each is a quiet object; together, they start a conversation.

Know your sizes

the Bubble3 × 32.36 in (6 cm) each side
mini Bubble2 × 21.57 in (4 cm) each side

The mini is exactly two-thirds the height of the Bubble, and that ratio is what makes them look so natural side by side.

Three arrangements we come back to

The pair. One Bubble and one mini, slightly offset so the mini sits just in front. It’s the simplest arrangement, and it works on a desk, a windowsill or a bedside table.

The trio. A Bubble flanked by two minis, perhaps in a second shade. Try Porcelain with two Sage minis, or Blush with two Porcelain.

The run. Alternate sizes down a dining table or mantel: Bubble, mini, Bubble, mini. Keep to one or two shades so the rhythm of the shapes does the work.

Tips for layering

  • Vary height with what’s already there: a small stack of books under the Bubble lifts it above its mini.
  • Keep to one scent in a group, so the fragrance stays gentle rather than mixed.
  • When lit, leave a little space between candles so each burns evenly.

Compose your own pairing.
