Psychedelia is a state in which an abundance of mind-created sensations is experienced and which differs from the everyday world. This word comes from the Ancient Greek words “psyche”, meaning soul, and “delosi”, meaning enlightenment. I don’t know if that’s scientifically correct to say, but in my opinion I quite often see psychedelic dreams: they are patterns of indefinite shape and size that begin to form from some everyday object or a view of nature. And through these patterns I usually arrive at some kind of insight in the dream and then wake up. By my bed there is a notebook and a pencil. I write down the insight I’ve gained, because otherwise in the morning I no longer remember the dream. In the “Psychedelia” vessel collection I have tried to show those peculiar, seemingly incomprehensible patterns that nevertheless lead to answers. Perhaps you will see some kind of enlightenment in them too!

You can view all works from the "Psychedelia" 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 a unique handmade piece, therefore the vessel design may differ slightly from the design shown in the image.

Candles in concrete vessels have an excellent property: 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 base of the candle vessel is made 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 "Loose 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.

Technical information about the product. The first time, burn until the top layer of wax becomes completely liquid (1–4 hours depending on the vessel diameter and the number of wicks). Before relighting, trim the wicks to a height of 1 cm above the wax surface.

To extinguish the candle flame, always use a special candle snuffer; do not blow it out! Do not allow matches or other foreign objects to get into the melted wax to avoid ignition! Do not move a burning candle! Do not use liquid to extinguish! During burning, the vessel walls become hot! Do not use the vessel for food storage.
