Description
The Manambia Candle is a pillar candle in a soft cream colour, made of wax and shaped as a neat cylinder. Fine vertical ribs run round the whole candle from base to top, so the surface catches light and shadow even before the wick is lit. It stands 10cm tall and 7cm across and weighs 0.3KG, a compact size that sits comfortably on a side table, a shelf or a mantelpiece without crowding it. A single white wick sits at the centre of the flat top.
Cream is a quiet, neutral colour, so this candle settles easily among white, grey, natural wood and green plants in a living room, dining room or bedroom. On a dining table it gives a low, warm glow at the height of conversation, and a small group on a tray makes a simple centrepiece for an evening meal. Because it is short and slim, it suits a bedside table or a bookshelf where a taller candle would look out of place. The even ribbing gives it a crafted, tailored look, which makes it a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes calm, pared back rooms.
The ribs run evenly round the sides and finish in a neat scalloped edge where they meet the top, so the candle looks tidy from every angle, lit or unlit. Wax softens with warmth, so we suggest keeping it somewhere cool, out of strong sun and away from radiators, until you are ready to light it. As a practical note, stand it on a flat, level plate or holder at least 7cm across before lighting, so the whole base is supported.
