Orange, Pink & Mint Striped Dinner Candles | Set of 4

A dinner table can survive without striped candles. It just has considerably less to talk about.

British Colour Standard layers Orange Flame, Willow, and Neyron Rose into four hand-poured tapers that look a little like someone turned a particularly good 1970s color palette into candlelight. The combination is warm, playful, and just unexpected enough to make white plates and whatever glasses you already own suddenly look more intentional. Light them for dinner with friends, put a pair on the table when it's just you, or leave them unlit until evening because they're doing a surprising amount of decorative work on their own. There are easier ways to add color to a room, but very few of them eventually catch fire.

About the Brand:  Britsh Colour Standard

British Colour Standard has built an entire design world around the radical proposition that everyday objects don't have to be visually apologetic. It started when founders Jackie Piper and Victoria Whitbread discovered an original 1930s British Colour Standard dictionary tucked away in an Oxfam shop and decided its wonderfully specific archive of historic colors deserved another life. Today, those rediscovered shades appear across candles, tableware, textiles, and objects for the home, with an emphasis on thoughtful materials, Fair Trade craftsmanship, and responsible production. It's part design archive, part color obsession, and a pretty convincing argument that progress occasionally looks like finding something old and realizing we shouldn't have forgotten it.
