CURATOR-APPROVED & SOLD AT THE MoMA DESIGN STORE, NEW YORK
Scandles is a Los Angeles candle studio turning the everyday beauty of the farmers' market into wonderfully unexpected little works of wax.
Founded in LA in 2020, each Scandle begins with the real thing. The team searches for fruit and vegetables with just the right bumps, curves and imperfections, then creates a mould directly from them — capturing every ridge, pore and wonky little detail. The result is a candle that looks remarkably like something you might have just brought home in your grocery bag.
Each one is hand-poured in Los Angeles using 100% soy wax. They're vegan, cruelty-free and non-toxic — and depending on the design, scented to smell rather convincingly like their real-life counterpart.
They’re candles, but they’re also little sculptural objects: funny, beautiful and just strange enough to make you look twice.
And we're not the only ones who like them. Scandles are sold at the MoMA Design Store in New York, where good design is taken rather seriously.
We’ve brought a selection of our favourites all the way from LA to The Wilder.
Light them if you like. We won't blame you if you don't.
