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. 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 vessels, which rolled through the bronze varnish on the table. And so the first vessel in the “It Happens” collection was born. Life is full of coincidences that change what happens next. But perhaps nothing happens by chance...

You can view all pieces from the "It Happens" collection here!  The images show prototypes of pieces in the collection. Each candle is made using the collection's special formula, but each candle is also uniquely handmade, 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 walls. The base of the candle vessel is made thick enough to prevent it from heating up and damaging the surface on which the candle is placed. If you are still concerned that the vessel might 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 500-gram package of palm wax sand from the "Sand Candles" section. This package allows you to refill the vessel twice. The package includes two types of wicks and instructions for making the 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 the first use, burn until the top layer of wax has completely melted (1-4 hours depending on the vessel's diameter and number of wicks). Before relighting, trim the wicks to 1 cm above the wax surface.

Do not burn candles on or near anything that can catch fire! Do not place candles in draughts! 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!
