Category: Proper Wax Candles

The Black Illusion Candle uses color and form to create the visual illusion of a taper candle inside a pillar. Sculptural, graphic, and unexpected, they turn a familiar object and give it a bold, modern presence. High contrast and architectural in feel, the black detailing sharpens the illusion making it stand out on shelves, tables, or mantels.a

Illusion Candles are made using an artisanal production process combining different colors of wax into a single candle. The candles are molded and then polished to create a glossy finish. The use of palm wax gives them a very long life compared to soy or paraffin candles of the same size.

Part of our Proper Wax family of candles: The wax is sustainably sourced from RSO certified growers, and they are produced in a Fairtrade certified workshop providing the primarily female workers with a living wage to support their families.

James ★★★★★

The shadow effect really sells it—from across the room it genuinely looks like a taper is floating inside the pillar. I catch myself doing a double-take every time I walk past. It's such a clever, sculptural piece that makes a plain candle feel like modern art.

Kevin A. ★★★★★

The black taper illusion is so convincing that my guests did a double-take before realizing it's all one solid pillar. It's sculptural enough to sit on my coffee table as a centerpiece, even unlit.

John ★★★★★

It’s such a clever trick of the eye—the black taper looks like it’s suspended inside the pillar, and the white base really sells the illusion. I put it on my coffee table and guests keep doing a double take. The sculptural shape is way more striking in person.
