Candle from the "Sandbanks" collection

Once in my life, on a beautiful summer day, I was lucky enough to fly in a small airplane around Cape Kolka, over the waters very close to the shore, and to see from a bird’s-eye view the place where the Baltic Sea meets the Gulf of Riga. What has stayed with me most strongly is the “drawing” formed by the sandbanks. They are indescribably distinctive patterns unlike anything else I have seen in nature. And do you know what I thought about when remembering these patterns? It’s so good that I didn’t photograph them, but simply kept them in my memory. Now, when I project many of my memories into concrete vessel designs, I have much more freedom for imagination. Memory and imagination are a tremendous tool for a creative person. Here is my mix of memory and imagination about the sandbanks!

You can view all works from the "Sandbanks" 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; however, each candle is also unique handmade work, therefore the vessel 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 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 vessel base is designed so that the base does not heat up and does not damage the surface on which the candle is placed. If you are still worried that the vessel may 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 the "Pour-in candles" section in a 2 × 1000 gram package. With this package you will be able to refill the vessel once. The package is supplemented with two types of wicks and instructions for making the candle. Of course, after the candle has burned out, you can also place any ready-made candle in the vessel that fits, 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.
