🕯️ Pillar Candles

Our pillar candles are thoughtfully crafted as statement décor pieces, designed to bring refined elegance to your interiors. While they may be burned occasionally, their primary purpose is to serve as timeless accents—gracing coffee tables, console displays, mantelpieces, or styled shelving. For those who choose to light them, we recommend doing so with care and following the user instructions below.

How to Use

  • Trim the wick to 5mm before each burn.
  • Place the candle on a heat-resistant, non-flammable surface.
  • Burn long enough to allow wax to melt to the edge (prevents tunnelling).

Where to Place

  • Use in a draft-free, well-ventilated area.
  • Place on a stable, level surface out of reach of pets and children.

What to Place Them On

  • Use a proper, heat-resistant candle holder or plate.
  • Do not place directly on furniture, fabric, or plastic surfaces.

Keep Away From

  • Flammable materials such as curtains, paper, and upholstery.
  • Direct sunlight, heat sources, and electronics.

Safety Instructions

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Burn for no more than 3–4 hours at a time.
  • Stop use when 1.5 cm of wax remains.
  • Keep wick centred and trimmed.
  • Do not move a burning or recently extinguished candle.
  • Always extinguish the candle fully before leaving the room or going to sleep.

Maintenance Tips

  • Trim the Wick: Keeps flame steady and reduces soot.
  • Remove Debris: Keeps the wax pool clean and safe.
  • Reposition Wick: Straighten the wick while wax is still soft.
  • Avoid Drafts: Prevents uneven burning and excessive smoke.
  • Clean Surfaces: Wipe base and holder after use to prevent wax residue.

🕯️ Jar & Tin Candles

How to Use

  • Trim the wick to 5mm before lighting.
  • Allow a full melt pool on the first burn to prevent tunnelling.
  • Do not use the lid to extinguish; allow wax to cool before covering.

  • Avoid placing in drafty areas, near edges, or high-traffic zones.

What to Place Them On

Maintenance Tips

  • Trim the Wick: Prevents mushrooming and smoke.
