Provider X Akitsu Candle - Stripe

JPY 8,500

Each candle is housed in a handmade ceramic cup, created in collaboration with Nanao Pottery, with the forms and designs developed by Akitsu. The cups are individually made by hand in Kinomoto, Shiga, before being filled with natural soy wax by The Provider Store in Sydney, Australia.

The fragrance is a delicate blend of Australian wattle, Japanese tatami and warm amber, bringing together familiar elements of both Japanese and Australian landscapes. The same scent was developed for our Akitsu room spray, inspired by the relationship between place, memory and the everyday rituals that make a space feel like home.

Each ceramic vessel is made individually, meaning no two are exactly alike. Subtle variations in shape, glaze, texture and colour are part of the character of each piece. Designed to be enjoyed long after the candle has burned, the ceramic cup can be cleaned and returned to everyday use as a coffee cup.

[CRAFT]

Being both artful and functional, each Provider candle is designed with sustainability in mind. To repurpose your candle, simply burn to the bottom of the wick, remove and cleanse with hot soapy water. You will now find yourself with a Japanese tea cup, planter or Vase. You can also bring your empty cup back to The Provider Store, Surry Hills studio for a refill.

We work with talented ceramicists predominately in Japan for our hand made cups, then pour each candle in our Surry Hills studio.

[BURN MEMORY]

When burning your candle for the first time, make sure you burn it until the entire top layer of wax has melted to the edge of the cup before blowing out the flame.

This is called Burn Memory and trains your candle to burn evenly downwards.

Burn Time: 25-30 Hours

[ CUP DETAILS]

Size: Approx. 9oz (250ml)

Handmade by Nanao Pottery in Kinomoto, Shiga Prefecture Japan, using clay from Shigaraki.

Subtle variations in shape, glaze, texture and colour are part of the character of each piece.
