Sensible and understated, Daily Tapers are the shorter version of our Table Taper and will fit most standard candle holders. Candles have been used as a source of light for more than 5,000 years and although we have many modern options we are still drawn to choose candlelight again and again. The amber light of a candle will soften your evening and slow you down in the best kind of way.

Beeswax candles are the gold standard of all waxes as they burn cleanly, brightly, and produce a delicate natural honey scent. This candle was made using a traditional technique of dipping a pair joined by a single wick into hot wax. Layer by layer the candles grow leaving each one with it’s own variations and character.

Burn your candle with care and attention.

Before lighting, trim the wick to a little under 1 cm and make sure it’s secure in a fireproof holder or dish, melting a little wax at the base if needed.

A candle placed in a draft will flicker rapidly creating wax drips and burning unevenly.

Children are very drawn to candles, they won’t be able to keep their hands off, please supervise very carefully.

A softer kind of light

Unlike the cool, blue-toned light of screens and overhead bulbs, a candle's amber glow has a quiet effect on the body softening and easing tension, signalling that the day can begin to wind down. There's a reason we reach for candlelight when we want to relax.
