Explore the heart of the workshops and get to know the people who bring them to life
This new edition invites you on an intimate and authentic journey, filled with passions, memories, and personal experiences. We asked our new protagonists to tell us what certain words mean to them: feminine, special, and comfortable. Three simple but profound concepts that hold the essence of LUCE — not just as a collection, but as a state of mind, a feeling, and a way of life.
LUCE LAB intertwines fashion, identity, and everyday life, celebrating the beauty of feeling comfortable with who we are and what we choose to wear.
But back to us…
Ornella welcomes us into her world of soft light, smiles, and small acts of care. Neapolitan by origin and Milanese by adoption, she has learned that home is not a fixed place but a feeling: that serenity she finds between the blue sea of Naples, the aromas of family cooking in Padua, the embrace of the person she loves… and now also in her project, THE CANDLE CLUUB.
Born from the desire to slow down and practice self-care, The Candle Cluub has two souls. On one hand, the production of natural candles, handmade with eco-friendly and sustainable ingredients, ready to brighten everyday life or make events and weddings special. On the other hand, workshops: moments of authentic sharing, where a candle becomes a pretext for creating true connections, meditating, having breakfast together, or chatting over an aperitif.
“For me, SPECIAL means being myself without having to explain. FEMININE when I can gracefully inhabit my vulnerabilities. COMFORTABLE when I can breathe, when a space, a dress, or a person makes me feel welcome.” This vision is also reflected in the choice of LUCE garments for the interview, which accompanies her in workshops and everyday life, as a sign of authenticity and freedom.
Finally, for Ornella, LUCE is what illuminates without dazzling: a delicate presence that makes you feel seen, both inside and out. “It’s choosing to shine without taking up space from others.” And this is the spirit that animates every candle and every gathering of her Candle Cluub: an invitation to rediscover the beauty of small gestures and sincere sharing.
