Treasured Objects
Unearth the Faradays team’s most-adored home decor pieces this season
Home is where the heart is, as the saying goes. It’s little wonder, then that we desire to be surrounded by precious things that make a house a home. Objects that carry memories, scents, and stories. Pieces that make a statement about who we are, just as our wardrobes do.
Below, the Faradays team shares their current favourite pieces for the home, available in store and online.
Constance, Co-founder and Creative Director
My favourite home decor piece: The Ginori 1735 Catene Collection
Why I love it: I’ve always been a firm believer that life is too short to save beautiful pieces for “special occasions” so in our household we serve everything from a homemade soup on a Monday night in the Catene bowls, to a three-course dinner using platters and matching dinner plates for guests.
Our home has both classical and modern touches, Art Deco furniture juxtaposed against the sharp crisp lines of black and chrome mid-century pieces collected over the years. Rock and roll photos, paintings and family heirlooms all mix to create something unique and individual to us, so it was important for me to find a dinner set that worked with all of these elements. The Catene design has a touch of Art Deco mixed with a silver border that decorates the crisp white porcelain. It blends in perfectly with our aesthetic and is a range I am slowly growing piece by piece. Next on my list is the range of bread plates to add to our collection.

Elizabeth, Head of Hospitality, Faraday’s Bar
My favourite home decor piece: The Stories of Italy Green Bucket Lamp
Why I love it: My bedroom is full of tonal greens, a colour I find soothing and relaxing, and I’m especially fond of lighting that is soft and diffusing to help create a calm atmosphere. This gorgeous lamp perfectly complements my little sanctuary both aesthetically and practically – not to mention it’s incredibly sturdy and almost impossible for the cat to knock over.

Amelia, Head of Brand and Communications
My favourite home decor piece: The Loewe Wax Candleholders - in every scent
Why I love them: I've burned through a few of these beautiful candles and the obsession is only growing.
These opulent all-wax pieces begin as a classic candlestick, eventually burning all the way to the bottom. I love the way the wax melts enchantingly down, forming a unique, organic sculpture as time wears on. They're a beautiful little talking point at a dinner party as they often catch people by surprise.
The herbaceous scents also work particularly well with certain foods - I love to light the Oregano candle when I am cooking and serving Italian food, for example, creating a fully immersive experience for the senses.

My favourite home decor piece: The Faradays x Stories of Italy Vase
Why I love it: I love the contemporary twist on the traditional Murano glass technique, with a real sense of opulence thanks to its gold leaf layers throughout. It is a truly special and innovative art piece, that can be styled with or without florals or foliage I love the exclusivity of owning this rare vase.

My favourite home decor piece: Stories of Italy ‘Jasper’ Candle
Why I love it: I am in love with Stories of Italy home décor, especially the candles. Every scent is just so unique. My favourite one at the moment is the new ‘Jasper’ candle. It evokes the perfect cosy at-home vibe, best enjoyed with a glass of wine and some jazz playing. An amazing, enveloping scent that would be a beautiful gift for someone special, or for one’s-self.

Why I love it: The Machiavellian design of this exquisite wine decanter is the perfect centrepiece for my bar trolley. Drinking wine or even water out of the matching goblets makes me feel royal.

My favourite home decor piece: The Stories of Italy Lapis Trio Vases
Why I love them: I like the symmetry and the versatility of this mouth-blown trio, being three vases in one. I also love the colour, drawing attention to it without being too dominant. A beautiful investment for the home that works as single sculpture and/or a vase, or a set of three when separated.

My favourite home decor piece: The Ginori 1735 LCDC Light My Fire Candle
Why I love it: When I first started working at Faradays I was instantly drawn to this candle. I am a candle addict and this one spoke to me immediately. The vessel itself feels modern in a mysterious way, with its depiction of a face, with the eyes intriguingly hidden – The scent is also incredible.

My favourite home decor piece: The Loewe Tomato Leaves Terracotta Candle
Why I love it: I really love this candle; I think I need it for my kitchen. I love the scent - it has a delicious savoury freshness to it. Once the candle has finished burning, I’ll use the colourful handmade pot to keep some freshly cut herbs in on the counter.

My favourite home decor piece: The Stories of Italy Nougat Green Bucket Vase.
Why I love it: I love it because of the mixed fresh green colour, you can see different types of green in it and the way it is all mixed together is like silk. It looks smooth and elegant, while the star shape adds little fun to the design.
