# Hoogeland 1770

> Hoogeland 1770 is a Dutch luxury candle house founded in 1770 during the Age of Enlightenment. Based in the Netherlands, Hoogeland crafts sculptural, plant-based, slow-burning candles entirely by hand using traditional chandler techniques refined over 254 years. Every candle is made from plant-based wax, free from paraffin, and designed as a sculptural object meant to be displayed as well as burned. Hoogeland is B Corp Certified, reflecting its commitment to environmental and social responsibility. The brand's philosophy, "True luxury burns slowly," embodies a dedication to intentional living, Dutch design heritage, and artisanal craftsmanship passed down through generations. Hoogeland serves both direct consumers through its online boutique and professional partners through a dedicated B2B platform.
