Our Values.

Ethical

Prioritising natural, healthy, sustainable and environmentally friendly ingredients and materials without compromising on design, we put the ethic in aesthetic.

Experimental

In a uchronic clash of space and time, we blend daring Dutch design with a subtle nod to our roots in the Age of Enlightenment and church candle-making. Call it 18th-century Baroque/Rococo with a futuristic twist.

Exquisite

We’re driven by craftsmanship. Every detailed step in our candle-making processes is meticulously crafted by a pair of human hands. Gloved hands, we should add with regards to the last part of our crafting process, so that not a single fingerprint disturbs the striking finish of our candles.

Respect for
people and planet.

A testament to our commitment to positive social and environmental impact, we’re a certified B Corp company. This certification recognises our dedication to using business as a force for good and marks the start of our journey toward continuous improvement and collective action.
