Named for an ancient burial ground dating back to the 6th century AD, where the oldest conserved beeswax candles north of the Alps were found, Oberflacht is a candle making operation in Baden-Baden Germany founded by an “aesthetic design visionary and a specialist in interiors, vintage furniture and artisanal objects,” as they say.
“It all started with our desire to create a hand-dipped, black taper candle in the blackest black possible. To achieve the purest color, we realized we needed to find a unique formula for dyeing the naturally yellow beeswax.”
The duo has since added an assortment of both pillar and taper candles, available in a range of moody colors, from Blood to Forest to Swamp.
The candles are available in Europe and in the US; for shopping info, go to Stockists
