Carl Durkow

Whimsical and idiosyncratic, Carl Durkow reimagines traditional candles. Founded by furniture and lighting designer Carl Durkow, the Philadelphia-based studio offers a collection of candles loosely shaped like inanimate objects such as chess pawns and honey dippers. Molded out of a blend of soy and beeswax, the candles arrive in captivating oblongs and curves that beg for interpretation. Candles dyed in a palette of pastels and bright tones add ornamental flair, while off-white candles seamlessly blend into any environment. Carl Durkow brings an imaginative touch to the art of candle-making with its selection of playful and practical pieces.
