Refillable Candle by Antje Pesel

The 'Refillable Candle' series is a unique collection of candle holders, designed to make your own candles with rapeseed wax. The objects were designed by different designers, in honor of the 15th anniversary of Vij5. The basic idea is that you buy a candle holder once, which you can then keep using for a longer period of time by refilling it each time with rapeseed wax, a sustainable alternative to paraffin.

Antje Pesel created a handle for the refillable candle, inspired by old classic candlesticks and lanterns. This handle makes it easy to mount the candle on the wall. In doing so, Antje gives the candle a special and clearly defined place, different from its more predictable place on the table. The design of both the glass and the handle is very minimalist and originated from this function. Because of its symmetry, the handle can be used in two directions and the product can be adapted to different spaces.

Each candle holder comes standard with a refill set; consisting of approximately 600 grams of rapeseed wax (for 2 or 3 refills), a series of wicks, a wick holder and instructions for use. If you run out of rapeseed wax granules, you can order a new refill set through our webshop.
