Our role at Poet and/the Bench is to ensure the atmosphere you create starts with “healthy” ingredients. Atmosphere is all about sinking in. Sinking in to the moments in between. It’s about giving ourselves time to be idle and awoke to what’s around us. It’s that delicious ability to both recognize the space of just being—and to enjoy being in it. Candles are one way to allow ourselves to slow down, to illuminate our senses.
Our Atmosphere collection honors the cultivation of well-being and comfort and with objects that enhance a daily focus on you. To make time everyday for a moment or languid experience of meaning and beauty, through scent, the glow of a natural candle and soothing cup of tea.
We style and bring the texture of our lives into our homes through the environments we create. You’ve likely heard of the Danish concept Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga); it can be traced back to the 1800s and is derived from a Norwegian word that translates to well-being. Hygge is a wonderful way of appreciating the simple things in life, especially what brings a feeling of cozy contentment. It may be lighting a candle and getting cozy under a luxurious blanket, or while sipping a warm cup of coffee while you watch nature or the world go by. Or playing music to the glow that takes you to that place of atmospheric comfort.
A desire to increase pleasure (and to decrease pain). But importantly, not an egoistic pursuit of short-term gratification by indulging in sensory pleasures without regard for the consequences.
That's why we’re investigators of ingredients and only carry the good stuff – because we know that what we put on our bodies is as important as what we put in it. Atmosphere are nontoxic, better for you, beautiful, optimistic and efficacious products that you can feel good about. For yourself and for the planet. It’s a kind of healthy hedonism because the ingredients are clean, natural and decadent.
Create Your Atmosphere.
