Candella: Handcrafted Scented Candle in Upcycled Wine Bottle

An Environmentally Friendly and Elegant Design by Marcin Sobkowicz

Our inspiration comes from the desire to design an environmentally friendly product which would also be elegant, unique and different from other products available on the market.

Introducing Candella, a handcrafted scented candle that combines elegance and sustainability. Designed by Marcin Sobkowicz, this innovative candle is made from upcycled wine bottles, making it a truly unique and environmentally friendly addition to any home.

What sets Candella apart is its commitment to preserving the environment. Each candle is handcrafted using upcycled wine bottles, which are collected from local restaurants in the Kildare area. These bottles are then cut, polished, and finished manually, ensuring that each candle is one-of-a-kind.

In addition to its eco-friendly design, Candella uses only the highest quality materials. The candle is made from pure soya wax, which is not only sustainable but also provides a clean and long-lasting burn. The fragrances used in the candles are blended with essential oils and are skin safe. The wooden wicks and lead-free cotton wicks ensure a safe and enjoyable burning experience.

Candella candles are not only visually stunning but also come with a unique twist. Instead of traditional scent names, each candle is labeled with a number from 1 to 10. This adds an element of surprise and intrigue, setting Candella apart from other candles on the market.

Each candle is carefully packaged in a 100% cotton bag, further emphasizing the brand's commitment to sustainability. The packaging is not only eco-friendly but also adds a touch of luxury to the overall experience of owning a Candella candle.

Since its introduction to the market in September 2014, Candella has received widespread acclaim. The design was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Decorative Items and Homeware category in 2015. This prestigious award recognizes the outstanding expertise and innovation demonstrated by Candella, as well as its strong technical characteristics and splendid artistic skill.

With its unique design, commitment to sustainability, and luxurious appeal, Candella is a true testament to Marcin Sobkowicz's creativity and dedication to creating innovative lifestyle products.
