Striped Abstract Dinner Candles | Set of 6

There was a time when candles were expected to disappear into the background. Then someone decided they could be the centerpiece instead.

Striped dinner candles have a way of making an ordinary table feel unexpectedly joyful. Hand-poured by artisans in Indonesia, this mixed set features one of each striped colorway from British Colour Standard, turning every place setting into a small composition of color. They're just as convincing at a celebratory dinner as they are beside a bowl of pasta on a Wednesday night, quietly proving that good design doesn't require a special occasion. Even before they're lit, they bring a little optimism to the room.

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.
