Features and types

Candles: shapes, materials and sizes

Tono Su Tono candles cover a wide range, both in form and material. You'll find soya candles — such as the Candela Soia Amarena available in two heights (185 mm and 235 mm, diameter 58 mm) — that burn more slowly and cleanly than paraffin. Alongside these, there are candles in traditional wax with sculptural shapes: the Candela Viso Donna (available in amarena and nude finishes, heights 115 mm and 155 mm) and full-length figure candles such as the Candela Coccodrillo H 170 mm and the Candela Scimmietta H 90 mm, both in gold finish. There are also ready-to-use compositions, such as the Vasetto con Candela in glass (H 85 mm, D 78 mm) in amber orange, or the scented candle in ceramic container such as the Potica Candela Profumata Amarena.

Candle holders and risers

Tono Su Tono candle holders are in glass and featured in the Hanami line, with differentiated sizes: the model D 100 mm H 125 mm and the H 150 mm D 150 mm. They are designed to hold column candles or tea lights. The line also includes theAlzata Fiori con Scatola (H 12.5 cm, D 26 cm), useful as a centrepiece for ceremonies or as a decorative element on the buffet at a wedding or christening.

Frames, mirrors and photo holders

Tono Su Tono's selection of frames includes photo holders with decorative subjects (palms, pineapples) in peach tones, an oval photo holder (22 x 25 cm) in mustard, and mirrors to hang (280 x 450 mm) in apricot and mustard variants. These are mid-range pieces, suitable for both everyday use and as a gift idea for ceremonies.

Vases, bowls and trays

The catalogue includes vases in various finishes, including the Vaso Righe H 270 mm D 110 mm in pink, bowls from the Hanami line (two sizes: D 120 mm and D 210 mm) and sets of trays in sage tones (diameters 350 mm and 400 mm). All practical elements for setting a table or decorating a sideboard or console.

Lighting decorations and decorative objects

For those seeking a more striking effect, the Cactus Oro Metallo H 540 mm con LED is one of the most original pieces in the catalogue: a gilt metal sculpture with integrated lighting. There are also wooden bases with LED in anchor or fish shapes (H 30/34 cm) and the Candelabro Metallo Rosa for those seeking a more classical element. Completing the range is a Bicicletta Bianca Decorativa in two formats (36 x 11 x 26 cm and 109 x 40 x 66 cm) — a decorative object with a vintage look.

How to choose

By occasion of use

• Ceremonies and party favours: the sculptural gold candles (Coccodrillo, Scimmietta) and Hanami candle holders lend themselves as original party favours for weddings or christenings, to be paired with Maxtris sweets for a complete coordinated set.
• Everyday home décor: the vases, Hanami bowls and sage trays fit well in the kitchen or on the living room table.
• Gift for special occasions: frames with decorations (palms, pineapples) in peach or apricot tones are a practical gift idea for birthdays or anniversaries.
• Lighting decoration: the LED Cactus or wooden base with LED work as an evening décor element in the living room or bedroom.

By colour palette

Tono Su Tono works with a palette of warm and soft tones: amarena, apricot, peach, mustard, amber orange, sage, gold, pink. This allows you to create monochromatic compositions — precisely "tone on tone" — or pair a warm colour (peach, apricot) with a neutral one (white, gold) without risking a clash. We at L'Arcolaio recommend first choosing the dominant colour of your space and then selecting two or three pieces in the same tone.

By budget

Tono Su Tono's catalogue covers an accessible price range with many entry-level items (candles, decorative fans, Christmas decorations) and a mid-range selection for more substantial pieces such as mirrors, oval frames and glass candle holders. The pieces with the greatest visual impact — LED Cactus, Decorative Bicycle, Hexagonal Display Set — are positioned in a higher price range and lend themselves to shop counter or window displays, not just for home use.

Frequently asked questions

What types of candles does Tono Su Tono produce?

Tono Su Tono offers soya candles (such as the Soia Amarena line), candles in wax with sculptural shapes (female face, stylised animals such as crocodile and monkey) and scented candles in ceramic container. The sizes are clearly indicated in millimetres on every product, so you can choose based on the space available.

Are Tono Su Tono candles suitable as party favours?

Yes. The gold candles — Coccodrillo H 170 mm and Scimmietta H 90 mm — are items already used in ceremonial contexts for weddings and christenings. You can pair them with sweets to create a complete coordinated set: you'll find the selection of Maxtris sweets on L'Arcolaio to complete your arrangement.

Are Hanami candle holders compatible with standard column candles?

Hanami glass candle holders are available in two sizes (D 100 mm H 125 mm and H 150 mm D 150 mm). The internal diameter is sufficient for standard column candles (up to approximately 7-8 cm diameter). Always check the product dimensions before purchase.

How do the colours of the Tono Su Tono palette coordinate?

The brand uses warm and saturated tones: amarena, peach, apricot, mustard, sage, amber orange. They work well in monochromatic combinations (e.g. peach with apricot) or paired with white and gold. Avoid mixing too many shades in the same space: two or three colours from the same family give the most harmonious result.
