“These are not simply candles. They are distilled memories — of hands that learned to hold light before they learned to let it go.”

Stories from the tablebook

Akimi Candles

Caroline Dötsch

It began with a walk through Zurich’s old town, a drink with elderflower, and a conversation that refused to end quietly. Caroline didn’t set out to become a chandler — she set out to preserve a moment. Akimi Candles is what that moment became.

Amethyst

Gabriela Cardenas-Flores

In the sunlit town of Fillmore, California, Gabriela took a five-year pause from her career to embrace something she had always known was waiting — a craft that asked everything of her senses.

La Fée Rêve

Eve Agnoly

Every Christmas, Eve’s uncle turned sugar and chocolate into something that felt closer to magic than food. She was seven, standing on a stool, hands deep in caramel and hazelnuts, learning without knowing she was learning.

Apidae Candles

Belle Savon

Tammy Goughnour

Tammy left Maryland for Vermont with a quiet longing and a clear conviction: that a candle should burn clean, from first flicker to last ghost of smoke. Belle Savon became her answer to everything synthetic, wasteful, and ordinary.

→ 08

Samantha Rose

Mackenzie Ofordire

In the isolating silence of 2020, Mackenzie turned grief into something she could hold in her hands. Samantha Rose — the daughter whose laughter she would never hear — became the quiet heartbeat of a brand built from love.

→ 09

Liebe Candle

Ingrid Schilling

Ingrid’s mother Edith was born in 1933 on a farm in Germany, one of eight children, and she never stopped carrying that warmth with her. Liebe Candle is Ingrid’s way of keeping Edith’s light burning. Every candle a story. Every scent, a memory.
