This collection was not planned. It came about by chance. I was working on two other collections at the same time. For one, I had prepared concrete containers coated with pearlescent mastic, while the other required bronze-tinted concrete varnish. The phone rang. Reaching for it, I knocked over the container of prepared varnish, which spread smoothly across the tabletop, and at the same time knocked over one of the pearlescent containers, which rolled through the bronze varnish on the table. And that is how the first container in the “It Happens” collection came to be. Life is full of chance occurrences that change the course of events. But perhaps nothing happens by chance...

You can view all the works in the "It Happens" collection here!  The images show prototypes of the works in the collection. Each candle is made using the collection's special recipe, but each candle is also a unique handmade piece, so the container's design may differ slightly from the design shown in the image.

Candles in concrete containers have an excellent feature: as the candle burns, the container walls heat up and help the flame melt the wax, so the candle will always burn down completely without leaving a layer of unburned wax on the container walls. The thickness of the candle container's base is designed to prevent it from heating up and damaging the surface on which the candle is placed. If you are still concerned that the container might damage the surface on which it will be placed, you can purchase candle coasters with a heat-resistant oak veneer coating in the "Candle Coasters" section. Once the candle has burned down, you can easily refill the container yourself by purchasing a 500-gram pack of palm wax sand from the "Candle Sand" section. This pack will allow you to refill the container four times. The pack 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 container, or use the container for other household purposes, such as a vase. The concrete container is not suitable for storing unpackaged food.

Delivery options and costs can be found in the "Terms and Conditions" section.

Technical product information. On first use, burn until the entire top layer of wax becomes liquid (1-4 hours depending on the container diameter and number of wicks). Before relighting, trim the wicks to 1 cm above the wax surface.

Always use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame; do not blow it out! Keep matches and other foreign objects out of the melted wax to prevent flare-ups! Do not move a burning candle!
