Candle from the "Autumn Carousel" collection

I like all seasons. Autumn too. That as an introduction. In the discussion, something else will follow. My vestibular system doesn’t tolerate sudden movements very well—those happening simultaneously up, down, forward, and back—so I don’t like riding carousels. When the children were small, however, it still had to be done every time one of the traveling amusement parks visited Riga. In winter, spring, and summer, nature is mostly dominated by a single color palette—white, brownish gray, or green. In autumn, nature is the most colorful. And on those autumn carousels, in which I already didn’t feel well, my stomach was made even worse by the autumn color palette flickering before my eyes in indistinct contours and shapes. The children have grown up, I don’t have grandchildren yet, and for now I can walk past carousels with my head held high. Every time I pass them, the colorful autumn image flashes in my memory—the one that flickered before my eyes when, sitting next to the children in the carousel seats, I played the happy father. How good it is that now I can stand on the ground and only remember that expressive autumn landscape in rapid motion. From the outside it seems wonderful, and you can see it too in my concrete vessel collection “Autumn Carousel”. Don’t even try to persuade me—I won’t get on carousels to see the picture again. Memories are enough for me.

You can view all works from the "Autumn Carousel" collection in one place here!  The images show prototypes of works from the collection. Each candle is made according to the collection’s special recipe, but at the same time each candle is unique handmade work, therefore the vessel design may differ slightly from the design shown in the image.

Candles in concrete vessels have an excellent feature: as the candle burns, the vessel walls heat up and help the flame melt the wax, so the candle will always burn out completely, leaving no layer of unburned wax on the vessel walls. The thickness of the candle vessel base is designed so that the base does not heat up and does not damage the surface on which the candle is placed. If you are still afraid that the vessel will damage the surface it will be placed on, in the "Candle coasters" section you can purchase candle coasters with a heat-resistant oak veneer coating. After the candle has burned out, you can easily and simply refill the vessel yourself with a new candle by purchasing palm wax sand in a 200-gram package in the "Granulated candles" section. With this package you will be able to refill the vessel twice. The package is supplemented with two types of wicks and instructions for making a candle. Of course, after the candle has burned out, you can also place any ready-made candle in the vessel that fits in it, or use the vessel for other household needs, for example, as a vase. The concrete vessel is not suitable for storing unpackaged food.

Delivery options and costs are in the "Terms" section.
