A “refillable candle” is a mold or container that can be easily filled or refilled with liquid candle wax to form a candle.
In 2021, Vij5 celebrated its 15th anniversary, so ahead of DDW, we invited all the Designers we collaborate with—as part of the Vij5 collection—to Design a “refillable candle.” An overview of their unique Design was on display during DDW 2021 in the Vij5 showroom. The Designers were given carte blanche, allowing their distinct styles to shine through in the final product. As a result, the exhibition showcased a wide range of personal interpretations while simultaneously forming an interesting cohesive whole, much like the Vij5 collection.
Rapeseed wash
For this project, we are working with rapeseed wax: a local, safe and easy-to-process product as a sustainable alternative to paraffin candles. Another advantage of rapeseed wax is that it has a relatively low melting point, which makes the container easy to clean with hot water and soap or in the dishwasher (if the material of the container allows it).
