Candles at Dims Studio are primarily made from stearin and paraffin. Stearin provides a strong, clear flame and longer burn time, while paraffin is often used to achieve special colors and shapes. You’ll find classic taper candles, twisted candles, pillar candles, and popular figurine candles shaped like fruits, animals, or abstract forms. Some candles are hand-dipped for unique color effects, while others are molded in detailed forms to create fun and eye-catching designs.

Taper candles: Typically 20-30 cm tall and about 2-3 cm in diameter
