9. Tom Dixon Elements Diffuser
Alchemy features heavily in this series of diffusers. The result? A set of beakers that would look right at home in the dungeons of Hogwarts during Potions class.
We reckon this beaker diffuser bestows an aura of mystery to your home, which is further heightened by the faint smokiness brought about by the charcoal reed stick.
In the true spirit of artistry, the glass beakers are mouth-blown, with the gold lettering of the brand painstakingly applied by hand. Comes in four elemental colours and scents: blue (water), red (fire), black (earth), and white (air), to suit your fantastical whims and fancies.
