WAX Atelier makes the most lovely candles. All candles are naturally colored, hand-dipped candles made with European beeswax and unbleached cotton wick.

This is a sweet little pair of shorter + wider candles. Perfect for meditation or morning reflection. Looks nice on a little Colleen Hennessey Tapas Plates.

About WAX Atelier

Tradition & Innovation

Wax Atelier re-visits traditional techniques ranging from candle dipping, paper making, to crafted textiles using natural wax. Making becomes a tool to experience the interconnection between the natural world and material culture.

WAX Atelier was founded in 2017 by multi-disciplinary designers Lola Lely and Yesenia Thibault-Picazo, in London.

Our products are manufactured in Poplar, East London, by a team of trained artisans, originating from the local community. 

Environmental & Social Impact

Sustainability is at the core of our brand ethos. Most of our materials are locally sourced and our production is all done in-house using environmentally low-impact processes. 

From its early days, Wax Atelier was founded with a strong interest in knowledge sharing. Creative workshops were proposed to diverse audiences. In 2020, with the support of the charity Participatory City Foundation, Lola and Yesenia trained a cohort of makers from Barking during a 3 months-long program. 

At present, Wax Atelier counts approximately 10 employees, and is proud of the varied cultural and ethnical backgrounds of its team: a rich mix of makers from the local community, experienced designers and young graduates.
