Candle from the "Grandmothers" collection

You can see all the pieces in the "Grandmothers" collection here!  The images show prototypes of pieces from the collection. Each candle is made according to the collection’s special recipe, but each is also a unique handmade piece, so the vessel’s design may differ slightly from the one pictured.

Candles in concrete vessels have an excellent feature: as the candle burns, the vessel’s walls heat up and help the flame melt the wax, so the candle always burns completely without leaving a layer of unburned wax on the walls. The base of the candle vessel is made thick enough to prevent it from overheating and damaging the surface beneath it. If you are still concerned that the vessel might damage the surface it rests on, you can buy candle coasters with a heat-resistant oak veneer finish in the "Candle Coasters" section. Once the candle has burned down, you can easily refill the vessel yourself with a new candle by purchasing palm wax granules in a 200-gram pack from the "Granulated Candles" section. One pack lets you refill the vessel four times. It also includes two types of wicks and instructions for making a candle. Of course, once the candle has burned down, you can also place any ready-made candle that fits inside the vessel, or use the vessel for other household purposes, such as a vase. The concrete vessel is not suitable for storing unpackaged food.

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

Technical product information. On first use, burn the candle until the entire top layer of wax has melted (1–4 hours, depending on the vessel’s diameter and the number of wicks). Before relighting, trim the wicks to 1 cm above the wax surface.
