Hand Painted Candles in Uzushi Design (three tapers)

Discovery begins with a single flame. In Swahili, "Uzushi" signifies discovery — and this design brings that spirit to life through traditional patterns and colors that reflect the earth and sky of Africa. These 9-inch dinner tapers are an invitation to slow down, light a candle, and find something beautiful in the everyday.

Hand-poured and individually painted by South African artisans at NOBUNTO, a fair-trade company dedicated to empowering women in their community, each candle is one of a kind. The earthy, sky-inspired Uzushi motifs are painted with swift, confident brushstrokes that make every piece feel alive.

Light them. Discover something.
