The brilliant design journal Sight Unseen has a write-up about our candle-making adventures. See it here and apologies in advance for having you read the word "like" so often. :)

Above, Linda's (the genius behind the candles) three-tiered lucite rotating carousel of fragrances, which she mixes, heats, blends and pours into the hot wax.

(and now they're in our shop.)
