Triangle Candles

🔺 Triangle Candles – the shape that holds it all together

Try stacking cards into a triangle – they stand. Try any other shape – they fall. The triangle is simply the most stable shape in the universe. That’s why architects use it for bridges, why roofs are triangular – and why we make candles in this shape. They’re stable, original, and everyone asks: “Where did you get that?”

A true story (a little esoteric)

Last year a therapist came to us. “I need triangular candles for couples therapy,” she said. We looked at her a bit oddly. She explained: “The triangle symbolizes a relationship – two people and their shared path. When couples see a burning triangle, it reminds them that there are not just two, but three entities – him, her, and the relationship.”

We made her 20 pieces. Six months later she ordered 50 more. “It works,” she wrote. “Couples buy them for their homes and light them whenever they need to be reminded of what matters.”

Since then we know – a triangle is not just geometry. It’s a symbol.

Why people want triangles (Top reasons)

1️⃣ The symbolism of the number 3

Past-Present-Future • Body-Mind-Soul • Father-Mother-Child
The number three is everywhere. Three wishes from a genie, three fairies, the Holy Trinity. The triangle represents them all.

2️⃣ Original design

How many triangular candles have you seen? Exactly. Put one on a table and everyone asks about it. It’s a conversation starter.

3️⃣ Stability (it really works)

It won’t fall, even if someone bumps the table. Wide base, low center of gravity. Perfect for households with kids or cats.

4️⃣ Fascinating shadows

When burning, it casts triangular shadows on the wall. Like a mini light show. Instagram loves it.

How to make a triangle burn perfectly

1. Flat surface only – triangle on a slanted table = disaster
2. First burn at least 1 hour – so the wax forms properly
3. Wick 5–7 mm – not longer, or it will smoke
4. Plate underneath – just in case, even if stable
5. Rotate – turn 120° after each burn for even burning

FAQ

Why triangle and not square?
Squares melt into the corners while burning. Triangles keep their shape – and look more interesting.

Can text be added?
On one side, yes. Dates, names, short messages. Not on the edges – technically impossible.

Which triangles sell best?
Medium black. Second is white. Third is red (popular for Valentine’s Day).

Can I have a photo on it?
Technically yes, but only visible from one side. For photos, we recommend cylinders instead.

Do triangles have magical power?
We’re candle makers, not magicians. But many people believe – and belief is sometimes enough.

🔺 Fun fact: The Bermuda Triangle covers 1.3 million km². Our largest triangle covers 0.16 m². Both are mysterious, but ours smells better.
