Handmade Japanese Candles

Traditional Japanese candles are an excellent present for the person who has everything. These candles have been created by the same family using ancestral techniques since 1892 and each one carries a distinct aesthetic that will appeal to the most refined tastes.

Handmade by a family run business in Ishikawa, Japan, who have been creating traditional Japanese candles in the same way since 1892. These sumac candles are made from wax that is harvested from the fruit of the Japanese Haze tree, and their unique hollow wicks allow them to produce a bright, tall flame.

Exotic Redwood Bowls & Flatware From Mali

If you’re looking to impress with the perfect holiday gift, our African Redwood bowls and flatware from Mali will exceed expectations. Every piece is carved and finished entirely by hand, making each one a unique and functional work of art.

In northern Mali, Amadou has been refining his craft since he was eight years old. Using techniques passed down through generations, from father to son, Amadou has mastered the art of hand carving traditional wooden bowls. No complex machines. No fancy gadgets. No unnecessary complications. Just generations of knowledge and reverence for the wood itself passing through his hands. Taking up to four days to complete, these bowls represent everything we love about slow design.
