Outdoor candle from the "Monochrome" collection

In the living room of my country house, on a small table, there is still a black-and-white television “Rekord” covered with a folk-style cloth. Most likely it was last turned on 30 or more years ago. This summer I thought: “I should turn it on and see if it works?” I dragged the TV outside and, keeping a safe distance, switched it on. Nothing exploded, nothing caught fire. I had almost forgotten that a tube TV takes about 20 seconds to warm up. Then the pleasant hissing became audible and, after a moment, the famous and long-forgotten monochrome masterpiece of contemporary art appeared on the screen — snow. The “snow” “jumped” across the screen, making it completely black in places, and white in others. Of course, this device can no longer receive any signals, but it does work! So I carried it back, put it on the table and covered it with the cloth. Who knows — maybe it will come in handy someday! The long-unseen snow and the adventure with the black-and-white TV I have transferred into the concrete-vessel collection “Monochrome”.

This candle is intended for burning outdoors — on a terrace, balcony, outdoor table. Its wick is suitable for use in various weather conditions, including wind up to 6 m/s.


You can view all works from the "Fragments of Antiquity" 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 feature: as the candle burns, the vessel walls heat up and help the flame melt the wax, so the candle always burns out completely, leaving no layer of unburned wax on the vessel walls. The thickness of the candle 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 afraid that the vessel will damage the surface it will be placed on, in the "Candle holders" section you can purchase candle holders 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 500-gram package in the "Granulated 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 the 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 number of wicks). Before relighting, trim the wicks to a height of 1 cm above the wax surface.
