Crafted by Hand.
Inspired by Fire.
The Wax Foundry began with a simple belief — that beautiful things should be made slowly. What started as a small creative project grew into a modern candle studio dedicated to craft, design, and atmosphere.
Each candle is hand-poured in small batches using natural soy wax, premium fragrance oils, and cotton wicks. We don’t chase trends or mass production; we create moments. The kind that make a room feel grounded, warm, and intentional.
Inspired by the flicker of a flame and the art of slowing down, The Wax Foundry celebrates balance — between minimal design and indulgent scent, modern craft and timeless ritual.
Our Process
Every candle begins with a pour — measured, melted, and blended by hand. We test every fragrance, wick, and wax ratio to ensure a clean burn and full-bodied scent throw. Each batch is poured, cured, and finished in-house, ensuring consistency, quality, and a personal touch in every jar.
We don’t outsource our craft — we refine it.
Our Materials
- Soy Wax: 100% natural, renewable, and biodegradable for a cleaner, longer burn.
- Fragrance Oils: Premium - chosen for mood and memory.
- Cotton Wicks: Lead-free and designed for an even, soot-free flame.
- Vessels: Reusable amber glass jars — timeless, tactile, and made to live on beyond the burn.
- Packaging: Eco-conscious and recyclable, using kraft and paper-based materials wherever possible.
Our Philosophy
We believe in slow craft and quiet luxury. Every candle is an invitation to pause — to create atmosphere, memory, and ritual.
At The Wax Foundry, design isn’t just how something looks; it’s how it feels, smells, and lingers. Because good design — like a good burn — takes time.
