Artist's Desk

  €17,00
Add to cart  
Some of my friends are painters. When I visit their studios or watch them create their works outdoors, my attention is always drawn to the painters' desks. Countless streams of paint have flowed, flowed and frozen on them, around them and over them. Through the dried rivers of paint, the original surface of the desk can sometimes only be sensed. The surface, covered in paint for years, has finally become a work of art itself. I have put the feelings that overwhelm me when I observe the desks of my artist friends into the concrete vessel collection "Artist's Desk".

Candles in concrete containers possess an exceptional quality: as the candle burns, the container's walls heat up and assist the flame in melting the wax, ensuring the candle always burns completely without leaving a layer of unburned wax on the container's walls. The base of the candle container is designed with sufficient thickness to prevent it from overheating and damaging the surface on which the candle is placed. If you remain concerned that the container might harm the surface, you can purchase candle coasters with a heat-resistant oak veneer coating from the "Candle Coasters" section. Once the candle has fully burned out, you can easily and simply refill the container with a new candle by acquiring palm wax granules in a 200-gram (approximately 0.44-pound) package from the "Bulk Candles" section. This package allows you to refill the candle twice. It includes two types of wicks and instructions for candle creation. Of course, after the candle has burned out, you may also insert any pre-made candle that fits inside the container or repurpose it for other household uses, such as a vase. The concrete container is not suitable for storing open food items.

Technical Product Information. For the initial burn, allow the candle to continue until the top layer of wax becomes fully liquid (1-4 hours, depending on the container's diameter and the number of wicks). Before relighting, trim the wicks to a height of 1 cm (~0.4 inches) above the wax surface.




General Hazards

Do not burn candles on or near anything that can catch fire! Do not place candles in drafts! Do not place candles near heat sources! Do not place candles on their sides! Always use a specialized candle snuffer to extinguish the flame—do not blow it out! Prevent matches or other foreign objects from entering the melted wax to avoid flare-ups! Do not move a burning candle! Do not use liquids to extinguish it! During burning, the container walls become hot! Do not use the container for food storage.
