More About Pomi d'Umbria Lignea Collection Ambiance Fragrance Diffuser
Pomi d'Umbria Lignea Collection is a range of ambiance fragrance diffusers made in Umbria, Italy. Each diffuser combines a glass bottle, natural reed sticks and a wooden designer top. The tops are made from wooden picture frames decorated with leaf and fruit molding. Every top is shaped by hand and finished with gold leaf, so small imperfections in the material make each piece unique. Refills and a spray version extend the use of the collection. Once a bottle is empty, the wooden top can serve as a paperweight.
About Elisabetta Furin
The project Pomi d'Umbria Lignea Collection was born after a meeting with the designer Elisabetta Furin, who led the brand in search of an extraordinary material: wood. For Elisabetta, who is passionate about cultural anthropology, the design of a product must draw on historical roots of local areas and influence craftsmanship and artistic expression with contemporary sensitivity.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Quality room fragrance convey a sensory experience leading to the discovery of a land rich in charm and history: Umbria, the Green Heart of Italy. The Lignea collection is the result of a careful study of each individual component, to provide the customer with high quality products that speak of tradition and at the same time of the modern world... carrying the hallmark for Made in Italy products.
- Inspiration
- The designer tops are made of gilded wood and draw inspiration from the knowledge and experience of wood craftsmen and their work. Using wood taken from picture frames decorated with fruit and leaf molding, they are individually and exclusively handmade with a gold leaf finish, to become real jewels of the finest, Renaissance-style craftsmanship.
- Research
- The designer Elisabetta Furin was instrumental in leading us to research an extraordinary material: wood. Through the emotional experience of room fragrances, Pomi is all about combining quality craftsmanship with local culture. So, the Lignea Collection becomes an opportunity to take a trip down memory lane and discover the treasures of this land. Even as a child, Elisabetta was in awe of the magnificent gold decorations seen on church altars, and through her studies she learned to appreciate their great artistic value and craftsmanship.
- Challenge
- For the designer Elisabetta Furin, who is passionate about cultural anthropology, the design of a product must draw on the historical roots of local areas and influence craftsmanship and artistic expression with contemporary sensitivity.
- Realization and Technology
- The designer tops are made from wooden picture frames decorated with leaf and fruit molding. They are fashioned one by one, shaped exclusively by hand with a gold leaf finish, to become true jewels of the finest craftsmanship. Any tiny imperfection in the material renders each product unique and tells the story of a valuable art and craft process. Products come in FSC-certified cardboard cases. Inside are elegantly-shaped glass bottles containing hand-made fragrances, natural reed diffuser sticks.
- Operation and Interaction
- A spray version is available to intensify the fragrances of the Lignea Collection and spread their scented notes through interior spaces in a simple and natural way. Finally, once you have used up the fragrances from the Collection, you can choose to continue on your scented journey with our special refills, or use the designer tops as exclusive items and accessories: the designer tops can become original paperweights.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in February 2020 in Perugia (Italy) and the collection was presented for the first time in October 2021 at Rastrello Boutique, a luxury hotel in Panicale, and was exhibited in February 2022 at Umbria-Toscana Bank, a regional finantial institution in piazza IV Novembre in Perugia, one of the most beautiful piazzas of Italy.
