Unlike synthetic candles, beeswax emits negative ions that help purify the air, neutralizing pollutants and allergens. Another unique benefit? Burning beeswax produces a warm, golden light that closely resembles natural sunlight. Thanks to its high melting temperature, beeswax burns softly and slowly, making Lumée candles last longer than most other candles.

Growing up in a health-conscious environment, I’ve been familiar with beeswax candles for a long time. 
Most beeswax candles prioritise purity over aesthetics, often resulting in a more earthy and unpolished look. Lumée was born from my desire to bridge that gap: bringing the honest, natural essence of beeswax together with a modern, refined aesthetic. A candle that feels both conscious and beautifully designed.

I created a little atelier in the basement, and that’s where Lumée was born. Finding the perfect materials and techniques was a journey on its own, but I am proud of the candles that emerged from it. All candles are handcrafted in Amsterdam using locally sourced, natural materials and fully recyclable glass.
