    paper Timothy Dunn Artist Collection - Home Fragrance Collection

    Timothy Dunn is a forist, a photographer and an artist. During the hardest time in his life he found peace with painting. This is what inspired him to create a home fragrance collection called ‘The Artist Collection’ where he would hand paint every single candle lid.

    Working with Tim for over a year, I built a good relationship with him to understand what this collection truely meant to him. The brush stroke you see at the forefront of the packaging was my tribute to Timothy‘s story.
    This one brush stroke now symbolises Tim’s life and I felt this was an important symbol to convey to the consumer whilst holistically tying in with the product.

    There are 11 fragrances in the collection, each one with a dedicated colour which Tim associated using his synaesthesia. Each paint colour used on the lids was matched to a Foilco reference which helps refect the product inside.
