Pyramid Candle Pentagon 8

Pentagon Pyramid Candle – handmade in Královské Poříčí

This five-sided pyramid is 11 cm tall and 7.5 cm wide, weighs 0.15 kg, is cast from a premium paraffin wax blend and fitted with a cotton wick. The burn time is 17–30 hours, depending on how long you burn the candle at a time and whether it stands in a draught. Scents: Citronella and Vanilla. We shape and check every piece by hand, so small variations in surface and shade are part of it – they are not flaws but traces of craftsmanship.

What is it made of?

The base is a premium paraffin wax blend. The wick is cotton, without a metal core, and cut to suit the diameter of the candle – if the wick is too thin, the candle burns down into a shaft; if it is too thick, it smokes. That is why we choose it for each shape from experience, not from a table.

The colour design of this candle is yellow-white. We apply the colour so that it does not smear into patches as it burns and the pyramid keeps a clean transition even after several burns.

How long does it burn?

17–30 hours. The range is not caution – it depends on how you use the candle. If you light it on short evenings for two hours at a time, you will reach the upper limit. If you let it burn for long periods in moving air, you will be closer to the lower one. A trimmed wick and a calm spot extend its life more than anything else.

What does it smell like?

Citronella and Vanilla. Citronella is fresh, citrusy and herbal – it suits a terrace or an open window. Vanilla is soft and sweeter, for an evening in the living room. The scent only gets going after a few minutes of burning, once a pool of melted wax has formed.

Where does it fit in your interior?

The geometric shape of a pyramid works differently from a pillar: five faces break the light into uneven reflections, so the flame “comes alive” even when the candle stands in one place.

• Living room – coffee table, shelf, mantelpiece.
• Bedroom – low light on a bedside table, away from fabrics.
• Study – one source of warm light away from the monitor.
• Bathroom – on stone or ceramics, never on the wooden edge of the bath.

You can also build a group in different heights – the pyramid holds together with pillars and prisms from our candle collections, because we cast them all from the same base.

Who is it a good gift for?

For someone who likes things with shape and does not want a mass-produced candle from the supermarket. It works as a gesture for a birthday or as part of a bigger present – you can add a soap or a gift voucher if the recipient would like to choose for themselves. It also suits a laid table at dinner for two or evening reading.

How to care for the candle?

Trim the wick to 5–7 mm before each lighting. Let it burn for no more than two hours at a time – longer burning melts more wax than the pyramid can hold. Place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from draughts and out of reach of children and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended. If the flame starts to smoke, blow it out, let it cool and trim the wick again.

Who makes it?

The SVITSOL brand was founded in 2004, and we have devoted ourselves to candles for more than twenty years. Our workshop is on a farm in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region, where this pyramid is made too. Nothing here is poured into a machine and nothing is checked only at random – every piece passes through hands that know what a clean edge and a straight wick should look like. You take home a piece of work, not wrapping paper.
