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 vessels coated with pearlescent mastic, while the other required bronze-tinted concrete varnish. The phone rang. As I reached 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 vessels, which rolled through the bronze varnish on the table. And that is how the first vessel in the “It Happens” collection was born. 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 works in the collection. Each candle is made according to the collection's special formula, yet each is also a unique handmade piece, so the vessel's 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's walls heat up and help the flame melt the wax, so the candle always burns down completely without leaving a layer of unburned wax on the vessel's walls. The base of the candle vessel is thick enough to prevent it from becoming hot and damaging the surface on which the candle is placed. If you are still concerned that the vessel may damage the surface it is placed on, you can purchase 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 by purchasing a 200-gram pack of palm wax sand from the "Granulated Candles" section. This pack will allow you to refill the vessel three 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 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 and Conditions" section.

Technical product information. On first use, burn 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.

General hazard. Never leave a burning candle unattended! Burn candles out of reach of children and pets! Always leave at least 10 cm between burning candles! Do not burn candles on or near anything that can catch fire! Do not place candles in a draught! Do not place candles near heat sources! Do not place candles on their sides! 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! Do not use liquids to extinguish it! The vessel's walls become hot during burning! Do not use the vessel to store food.
