About this collection
Because I use a custom vegan blend of soy wax and coconut oil, these sculptures have a matte finish that makes the fine architectural details pop. It is not just about looks; the wax is sturdy enough to hold its shape as a desk ornament, but if you do decide to light them, the clean burn ensures the scent stays subtle rather than overpowering your room.
When I started the Olympia collection, I wanted to move beyond standard pillar candles. I was obsessed with the idea that wax could mimic the timelessness of marble. From the Veiled Lady bust to the Pantheon dome, every piece is molded by hand in my small studio in Bengaluru.
These are not your typical candles. While they are fully functional and burn cleanly, most of my customers treat them as permanent decor. I have seen them used as minimalist bookends, as centerpieces on coffee tables, or tucked into shelves next to art books. The architectural jars, specifically, double as trinket holders once the wick has burned down.
The Process
Each piece goes through a careful curing stage. I mix the soy and coconut wax blend to ensure it captures the fine textures of the molds. When I pour the Medusa or Colosseum candles, I check for air bubbles, though occasionally a minor quirk makes it through. To me, that just proves they were made by hand, not a factory machine.
Styling Tips
- Bookends: Pair two Pantheon dome candles together to hold your favorite novels.
- Texture Play: Place the Veiled Lady or David bust on a decorative tray with a stack of old books to create an instant classical aesthetic.
- Gifting: These make for sophisticated, thoughtful gifts for anyone who appreciates history or home decor.
Whether you choose the pastel Corinthian pillars or the classic white busts, these pieces are designed to bring a touch of the classical world into your modern space.
