Gustaf and Linnea
Beeswax candle - "Pollen"
Do you think I'm adorable? But I'm so much more than just a pretty interior design detail. In your home, I would surely end up in a nice place, perhaps on a plate next to one of my peers. Sure, I would spread a honey-sweet scent in my new home, I would spread warmth and light on many evenings and make sure we have a cozy time together. But that's not the only reason I want to live with you, because I am the result of no less than 3,000,000 flower visits. That's how many flowers Swedish honeybees have visited to create enough beeswax to make me. In turn, a whole bunch of flowers have been spread for wild bees to live on the following season. When you can't hold on any longer, cut the wick down to about 0.5 cm and I'll take care of the rest.
The design of the candle is inspired by pollen grains scattered in the wind and has been linked together here to form a pollen cluster that looks both beautiful and playful.
Height: 6.5 cm
Width: 6 cm
Burn time: approx. 40 hours
(As I am hand-cast, the measurements may vary slightly)
100 of Sweden's approximately 300 species of wild bees are threatened with extinction. Gustaf and Linnea are actively working to educate and inspire a more bee-friendly world, including educating beekeepers about, for example, not having or having too many bee colonies in vulnerable biotopes.
Since beeswax from different nectars, colonies, and harvests varies in color, so do the candles.
The candles come in a box that is also perfect as a gift box.
