Timeless Hue. White Cylinder (45h). Aroma: Plum and Rhubarb

Old paint has a special charm - it cracks, forms its own patterns, and the painted surface gains a new aura. Once, during a hike in Latgale near the dense Kuprava forest, my hiking companions and I stumbled upon a long-abandoned house. Its cracked black and white paint created a fascinating collage that served as inspiration for the "Timeless Hue" collection. I created this collection together with Elīna Muceniece. In the vessels crafted by Elīna, I painted using a special cracking paint technique, deliberately preserving the brushstrokes.

The cylinder, with its massive shape and eccentric design, will bring the atmosphere of an ancient, enduring story to any space. It fits perfectly into both modern and vintage interiors as an eye-catching and self-sufficient decorative piece. The natural soy wax candle, with the fresh, tart aroma of plums and rhubarb, fills the room with a delightful note of fresh air and ripe fruit.

As the candle burns, the concrete cylinder warms up, ensuring the candle burns completely without leaving soy residue on the cylinder’s walls. After the candle has burned out, the cylinder can safely hold another candle, or, once cleaned, be repurposed as an interior item for uses according to your preference.

The cylinder has an outer diameter of 14 cm, a height of 8–12 cm, a soy wax weight of 400 g, a total candle weight of 1780 g, and a burning time of 45 hours. Design by Kārlis Anitens and Elīna Muceniece.
