ART-HOUSE CANDLE is an innovative project about handmade candle making using modern techniques and traditional methods.
Technological tools, such as the CNC milling cutter, are used in the last phases of candle’s creation (decoration or finishing touch), in addition to the classic techniques of engraving, drawing and sculpting.
Raw materials are processed following ancient artisan techniques: the materials are melted in bain-marie, adding colours and perfumes. The basic shapes are obtained from handmade molds.
The product has some peculiarities (see the picture below) that make it stand out from other classic candles: the final fragrant wax artwork won't burn; infact it will act as a container of a smaller perfumed candle that will not only emit a pleasant scent, but also serve as a light source. Adding a small amount of water in the bowl will prevent the little candle from burning the container once it reaches the end of the wick. Doing so will preserve the wax artwork, that will last forever.
