Goodbye boring candles

Not a candle. A sculpture you build yourself.

How a CANDL Stack works

A CANDL Stack is a modular candle sculpture, built from individual modules and holders that click together. Burn one module at a time, lift it off once it's gone, and the shape of your sculpture changes — it keeps evolving for as long as you use it. Below, everything you need to know to build, burn, style and reuse yours.

The modules

Modules 3, 4, 5 and 6 share the exact same connector, so they stack in any order and any combination — a large one can even sit under a smaller one. Module 1 only fits onto Module 2; together they form a fixed pair that finishes off the top of any stack.

It's exactly the same system behind our configurator — mix and match modules there to build and preview your own stack.

How people actually use it

Designed to be a candle. Used mostly as a sculpture.

Every module is a real, functioning candle — built so you can burn one at a time, on its own or as the topper. In practice, most owners never light them at all: the stack works beautifully as pure decor, and people find it too good-looking to burn. Both are the intended use.

Candl Stacks

Every module is designed to fit and stack perfectly — so you can build your own unique composition.

How to burn

Light only the top module, or place modules next to each other and burn several at once.

Avoid heat & sun

Keep your stack away from direct sunlight and windows where strong sun can reach it.

Use the holder

The holder module is ideal underneath a burning candle — it protects the module below and your surface.

Burn safely

Always place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface, trim the wick before each burn, and never leave a candle burning unattended.

Ceramics

Designed to elevate your table setting — and to be reused long after the scent is gone.

First burn

On the first burn, let the full top layer of wax melt before extinguishing. This ensures an even burn and helps prevent tunnelling.

Diffuser use

After pouring the fragrance into the ceramic diffuser, turn the sticks regularly for optimal diffusion.

Reuse

Once finished, reuse the ceramic piece as a pot, vase, or decorative object.

Safety first

Trim the wick to 5mm before each burn, never burn a candle for more than 4 hours at a time, and keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
