Polka melt large

ready to ship

Hand crafted from raw steel.

the polka melt large is just as fun as its small version, its just made to fit extra long candles. 

For everyone who's always been captivated by the beauty of molten, flowing wax...

This art piece transforms the simple act of a candle burning into a sensory performance. The side openings in the metal body give the wax room to escape - freely, unpredictably, poetically.

As the flame flickers, small wax scenes emerge: layers, drips, arches, and spontaneous formations that exist only for a moment. Each use becomes a live installation, each burn a unique process that can never be repeated.

The clean, sculptural metal form becomes the stage for these fleeting creations. A simple candle turns into an artistic gesture, the flame becomes a creator, and the wax becomes a temporary sculpture.

For those who don't just want to observe design, but experience it - and for anyone who finds beauty in materials expressing their own language.

each piece is numbered on the bottom plate, so there's only one like your's.

The candle holders offered are handmade, one-of-a-kind pieces.
Minor variations in color, shape, or surface texture or thickness do not constitute a defect but are typical characteristics of handmade products.

be sure to light candles only in a safe environment, not close to flammable objects. Always watch it burn down completely, or kill the flame before you leave the room.

The tube of the candle holder gets hot, once the flame enters it, do not touch it while having it burning.

Through the heat of the flame dripping wax will clean itself from the upper tube while burning. To keep the inner part clean let the candle burn down completely until it goes out on its own.

Material & Care

This candle holder is made from raw steel — a material chosen for its honesty, strength, and living surface. Unlike coated or polished metals, raw steel reacts subtly to its environment and develops character over time. Small marks, shifts in tone, and traces of use are not flaws, but part of its evolving story.

To preserve its appearance and ensure long-lasting enjoyment, the candle holder should be kept dry at all times. Moisture can cause the steel to oxidize. If wax residue needs to be removed, popp off leftover from the foot once cooled down completely. Or wait about 3 minutes after the flame shut down, the wax should be no longer liquid, more opaque in colour but still bendable, you can easily pull off any leftover wax to end up with a squeaky clean candle holder ready for a new burn. 

Should the surface ever come into contact with moisture, dry it immediately and thoroughly.

This piece is designed to age gracefully when treated with care — celebrating the beauty of raw material while respecting its nature.
