FM Lifestyle – the brand conceived by interior designers Fabio De Mari and Maurizio Angotti Borda – joins forces with the historic excellence of Antica Barbieria Colla through its new capsule collection of home accessories, “Finestre a Milano”.

What better way to warm up winter and the Christmas season than with a candle capable of enveloping any space in its fragrance, light, and beauty?

Inspired by this idea, Francesca Bompieri, Fabio De Mari, and Maurizio Angotti Borda have decided to launch, in December 2025, a symbolic object in limited edition (100 pieces) to celebrate their collaboration.

The “Finestre a Milano” collection, presented in October 2025, represents the first expression of a life spent among the city’s historic architectures and serves as a tribute to the timeless and poetic charm of its period buildings. Details such as windows, frames, and perspectives become the protagonists of a visual narrative celebrating Milan’s aesthetic and cultural identity.

Antica Barbieria Colla, guardian of a century-old tradition, preserves within its walls the stories, characters, and secrets of a city that has always embodied Italian elegance and style.

The object chosen to unite these two worlds could only be a candle: a decorative element that merges form and sensation, light and fragrance.
Its porcelain, entirely decorated in Italy, stands out for its ability to harmonize with any interior style, from the most classic to the most contemporary.

Antica Barbieria Colla has made this candle unique thanks to the fragrance of its most iconic cologne, Colonia No. 9, which also lends its name to the product—reinterpreted in letters as NOVE.

Originally proposed in two colour variants, the candle created for Antica Barbieria Colla is adorned with the institutional colours of the historic Milanese shop: timeless ivory and elegant burgundy—hues that have always characterized its exclusive line of hair and beard care products.

Each piece is presented in exclusive Antica Barbieria Colla packaging, meticulously crafted to make it the perfect choice for a refined gift.

With the NOVE candle, FM Lifestyle and Antica Barbieria Colla seal a collaboration that celebrates the excellence of Milanese design and craftsmanship—a project that unites aesthetics and sensoriality, tradition and modernity—transforming a simple decorative object into an experience of style and fragrance.

An authentic homage to the city of Milan and its unmistakable taste for timeless elegance.
