Branch Candle Cochineal

Branch Candle Cochineal by Ilex Studio.

Inspired by close observation of nature and a desire to use natural materials, Ilex Studios’ Branch Candle brings the beauty of the outdoors into your home.

Made from 100% beeswax and cast from tree branches found on daily walks, each edition is based on the setting of tree – the first from the series being from Ravenscourt Park in West London.

Using modern mould techniques alnon with traditional candle-making methods, each organic detail is captured – the bark, nodes, and texture of the tree’s branches.

The candle is sustainably made, and cast in Ilex’s London studio. The packaging is screen printed by hand with water-based paints, on post-consumer recycled British cardstock, cut with a 150-year-old machine and held together with a simple copper staple.
