A 'refillable Candle' is a mold/container that can easily be (re)filled with liquid Candle wax to form a Candle.
In 2021, Vij5 celebrated its 15th anniversary, so prior to the DDW, we invited all the Designers we collaborate with under the Vij5 collection to Design a 'refillable Candle'. An overview of their unique Designs was on display during DDW 2021 in the Vij5 showroom. The Designers were given carte blanche, allowing their individual styles to shine through in the final product. As a result, the exhibition showcased a wide range of personal interpretations and formed an interesting unity, just like the Vij5 collection.
Rapeseed wax
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).
