Bellini Oil Burner & Diffuser
Bellini is an oil burner and diffuser in sand-cast aluminium, bringing aromatic fragrance and flickering candlelight into the home. A recessed basin sits above a tealight, gently warming oil or a water-based blend to release fragrance into the surrounding space.
Inspired by Italian designer and architect Mario Bellini, the piece draws inspiration from his exploration of structure containing softness, translating architectural mass into a tactile ritual object.
The next batch of Bellini Burner & Diffusers are currently being crafted and will resume shipping from our Surry Hills studio in late December. Pre-order now to secure a piece from this small batch.

Bellini is crafted from raw, sand-cast aluminium with a gently rumbled finish. After use, allow the piece to cool completely before handling. Wipe the basin clean with a soft cloth to remove oil or residue.
Avoid leaving undiluted essential oils pooled in the basin for extended periods, and always dry thoroughly after cleaning. Avoid abrasive cloths, scouring pads and harsh or acidic cleaning products.
For full care guidance, please refer to our Material Care Guide.
Best used as an oil burner, in small, intimate spaces such as bathrooms or entryways. Dispense five to ten drops of your favoured oil blend, and use a single, standard tea-light candle in the body of the burner.
Best used as a diffuser for larger spaces and softer, more sustained fragrance dispersal. Dispense five to ten drops of your favourite oil blend, then fill the remainder of the cavity with water.
For safety, extinguish candles immediately after use.

FRAGRANCE & ATMOSPHERE
A SENSORY RITUAL
Fragrance has a quiet presence within the home, shaping the atmosphere of a room through scent and familiarity. Bellini brings this experience into closer focus, warming aromatic oils and dispersing their fragrance into the surrounding space.
The recessed basin accommodates both oil-only and water-based use, offering two distinct approaches to fragrance. Oil alone brings a more concentrated aromatic presence to smaller, intimate spaces, while the addition of water allows for a softer fragrance experience suited to larger rooms.
BIBAMBOLA SOFA BY MARIO BELLINI - 1972
STRUCTURE CONTAINING SOFTNESS
Mario Bellini’s work spans architecture, furniture and industrial design, exploring the relationship between form, material and lived experience. His designs often possess an expressive, organic quality, where structure gives way to fluid contours. In the Bibambola sofa, this thinking becomes tangible through generous upholstered volumes that swell beyond the conventional outline of furniture, creating a form that feels almost alive. Here, softness is not an addition to the structure, but the very thing that gives it shape.
The Bellini Burner & Diffuser draws from this exploration of structure containing softness, bringing together cast aluminium, sculptural form and the intimacy of a tactile ritual object.
LIGHT AND SHADOW
A CHANGING PLAY OF LIGHT
When illuminated, the flame casts a gentle, upward glow through the narrow opening, casting a soft light across the basin and into the room. As it flickers, light catches the rumbled aluminium, revealing shifting highlights and shadow.
Observed from different perspectives, Bellini takes on a changing character, its shadows shifting with the movement of light. More than a fragrance object, it brings a quiet, sculptural presence to the room, even when the candle is extinguished.
