The Lassie Collective is a group of designers, all women who live and work in New York City. They are prolific but careful, open but precise, and entirely awake to the world of design. Much of which they ignore — something that comes out of the Lassie shop is based on an intuitive reading of a client and the material. There are no trends in the work of the Lassie Collective. Lassie can see the core of a project, and then use those essential elements to create something that is both easy to reproduce and beautiful. The Lassie Collective sees design as practical dreaming.

SHINRIN-YOKU (森林浴) is the Japanese practice of slowing down long enough for nature to reset your nervous system. This scent feels like stepping into a quiet forest and exhaling for the first time all day. 🌲⁠

Finding your HARA isn’t about stepping out of your life.⁠
It’s about standing in the center of it.⁠

Grounded. Upright. Yourself.⁠

You lose it. You come back.⁠
Just like that.⁠

And it doesn’t have to be so serious. That’s

Or just deciding you do.⁠

Some of you are just getting back from spring break…sun still on your skin, salt still in your hair.⁠

And somehow, this candle smells like you never left.⁠

Smells like verdant greens and vintage leather—⁠
fresh clarity, centered depth.⁠

This is where it all began.⁠
The scent that set everything in motion.⁠

Before there was a collection, there was this feeling—⁠
a pull back to center.⁠

There’s a reason this doesn’t look like every other candle.⁠

A grounded square base—steady, anchored.⁠

In theory, spring cleaning is one big gust of wind and everything you don’t need just disappears.⁠

that’s it.⁠
