Templo Candle Sculpture

Templo Candle Sculpture - Octaevo

Hand-poured in Italy, shaped like relics from an imagined altar. Templo candles melt as a performance — art that changes while you watch.

Inspired by imaginary objects from the altars of ancient mythology. Hand made by artisans in Italy. The transient nature of the hand poured wax combined with the Templo relic sculpture create an art piece that melts as a performance, transforming slowly over time.

The eclectic palette of shapes in soft colours make a statement of their own. Cluster them together to form a chic ensemble on your dining room table or mantle.

Your home is a temple.

Hand made by artisans in Italy.
