Hand-Painted Tall Taper Candles – Bongazi Design (Set of 3)
Feel the wild energy where two oceans collide. The Bongazi design is inspired by the dramatic meeting point of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans at Cape Agulhas — where different currents crash in towering waves, and you can almost feel the salt spray on your skin and the fresh ocean breeze in the air. These 9-inch dinner tapers bring that same untamed, elemental beauty into your home.
Hand-poured and individually painted by skilled South African artisans at NOBUNTO, a fair-trade company empowering women in their community, each candle is a one-of-a-kind work of art. Bold base colors set the stage, then masterful artists add the flowing, wave-inspired Bongazi motifs with swift, confident brushstrokes.
Light them. Feel the ocean. Start the conversation.
