The Nordic Candle Story

Candles should be elegant and unique. We design our collection around the philosophy that candles should be fashionable, reflect your personal style and burn beautifully.

We love to entertain, especially when the room is lit by candle light. The warm glow of unscented pillars are ideal for enjoying in abundance. Enjoy with food, wine and great company.

All our candles are handcrafted in our studio, usually with a dog or two afoot. We’ve developed our textures over years and they’re unique to us. Our colors are carefully selected to be rich, earthy, yet reflect the current trends in décor. Non-traditional candle shaped candles are made from molds we make ourselves, usually from items we find in nature. Our candles burn with a bright calm flame, are odorless, smoke free and drip-less. They will burn all the way across, if burned out of drafts and with the wick trimmed to ¼”. Our burn times are some of the longest we have seen in the industry. We achieve this by using the purest raw materials and adhering to the highest candle making standards. Our candles have a translucent quality, which emits an ambient romantic light. Nothing adds atmosphere to a room quiet the way the natural light from a candle does.

Cheers!
