Ester & Erik

Ester & Erik candles are crafted with a focus on quality and tradition, using methods refined over 35 years. Each candle represents Danish craftsmanship, combining natural ingredients and meticulous techniques.

Every candle is handmade in Silkeborg, Denmark, ensuring the highest quality and consistency. They use 100% pure paraffin wax and cotton wicks to create elegant, long-lasting products. While traditional methods remain central, they use automation to keep up with demand. A robot assists in wicking the dipping frames, replicating the manual technique for consistency.

Their taper candles are dipped up to 25 times in paraffin wax over several hours. The candles are then colored, lacquered, and hardened, followed by a 24-hour drying period to achieve the perfect finish. They use FSC-certified packaging to ensure their candles are eco-friendly. Each product is carefully packed with tissue paper and foam for maximum protection.

Their scented candles feature Nordic fragrances developed by Emmanuel Martini, inspired by Danish nature. Scents like soft liquorice, woodland walks, and wildflowers bring the essence of Denmark into your home. Their scented candles are housed in elegant ceramic jars that can be reused as vases. Refills are available, allowing the jar to be reused, reflecting their commitment to sustainability.

They ensure high standards by quality-checking at each stage of production. From wax to packaging, every detail is carefully monitored to deliver a flawless product. Their candles are made with the purest wax and water-based dyes, ensuring a clean, long-lasting burn. They contain no artificial additives, making them safe and environmentally friendly.

They continuously innovate to maintain the quality and tradition of their candles. Every fragrance, wick, and ceramic jar is tested to uphold their legacy of excellence.
