Candles you don’t expect.

The idea

Every collection starts with an ordinary object.

An object that already exists in our everyday lives.

We reinterpret it and transform it into something unexpected.

The candle burns.
The object remains.

No disposable packaging.
No decorative excess.
Just an object with a second life.
