The designer-artist Tobias Wong, who passed away in 2010, thought of himself, more than anything, as an observer. With a clever wit and ingenious clarity, he honed in on the icons, obsessions and desires of contemporary culture and appropriated them in objects that are both resonant and beautiful. One of his last concepts was The New York Times candle. Within the current fascination with scents and, especially, experimental scents, Wong proposed producing a candle with the fragrance of newsprint inspired by the New York Times, an institution he greatly admired and with which he had a longstanding relationship. This project was never actualized.

The partners at Bondtoo have realized his Times of New York candle in a limited editon of 1000.
