This sculptural candle is for the host who appreciates objects that feel considered, even before they’re lit.

The Contortion by Atelier Cire, inspired by the work of Arno Sebban, is hand-crafted with a softly twisted form that reads more like a piece of modern art than a traditional candle. Made from an unscented blend of vegetal and mineral wax with a clean-burning cotton wick, it’s designed to let shape and flame do the talking. Beautiful on a shelf, coffee table, or console, it’s the kind of object that elevates a space quietly and makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves design with intention.
