The Artifact Candle bridges the ancient and the modern, the sculptural and the functional. Each candle is made with a custom blend of concrete and is hand-poured in forms that naturally degrade over time. Because of this, each vessel emerges as unique, with its own character, color, and imperfections. Delicate yet enduring, it invites a daily ritual of light, form, and fragrance.

Product Details

The Vessel

A unique blend of cement, sand, and pigment. Each vessel is hand-poured in forms that naturally shift and degrade, ensuring subtle variations that make every piece truly one-of-a-kind.

The Scent

Natural notes of wood smoke layered with cedar, warmed by accents of vanilla, cinnamon, and oak. Grounding yet transportive, designed to transform your atmosphere.

The Wax

100% soy–coconut wax blend, free from paraffin. Chosen for a clean, even burn and exceptional scent throw, with an average burn time of 70–80 hours per candle (with proper care).

Care Instructions

Allow the wax to melt fully on first burn to prevent tunneling.
Trim wick to ¼" before each lighting for a steady flame and longer life.
Burn no longer than 3–4 hours at a time.
Place on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts and flammable objects.

Reuse & Refill
