Santo Spirito Facade Candle

from €60.00
wax:

Please note: because reclaimed wax is inherently variable, each candle may differ slightly from the image shown in colour and natural marbling. These subtle variations are part of the beauty of the process and make every piece unique.

Prefer a more uniform finish? Select white wax (paraffin) from the menu. For a pure, perfect white, choose coconut wax.

Florence essential

A limited-edition architectural candle inspired by the façade of the Basilica di Santo Spirito in Florence. Handmade in Tuscany and hand-poured in Florence, it transforms one of the city’s most iconic Renaissance churches into a quiet, sculptural object for interiors.

Made by the social workshop Il Candelaio using reclaimed church wax from Florence, each candle is a contemporary design piece shaped by craftsmanship, local production, and social value. Its soft lines and compact base make it ideal as a decorative candle, a refined souvenir from Florence, or a meaningful gift for design lovers.

Why it is unique

Because it is made with reclaimed wax, each candle may show slight variations in tone and surface. These differences are part of its material character and make every piece one of a kind.

Social impact & responsibility

Lume Candles Firenze collaborates with Il Candelaio, an artisan solidarity workshop in Florence.
Here, people who have been pushed to the margins – often homeless or socially excluded – find a space for work, dignity and community.

Choosing this candle means supporting:

  • handcrafted production instead of mass manufacturing,

  • a local social project in Florence,

  • the upcycling of recovered wax that would otherwise be discarded.

The tone is premium and understated: no exaggerated claims, just transparent, traceable impact.

How to use & styling ideas

  • Place the candle on a heat-resistant base (ceramic, metal, glass).

  • Use it as a centrepiece on a dining table or console.

  • Combine it with other Lume candles or neutral candles for a monochrome, sculptural composition.

  • Ideal as:

    • a gift for Florence lovers and architecture enthusiasts,

    • a refined souvenir from Firenze,

    • a corporate gift for design-conscious companies.

Safety instructions

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.

  • Keep away from children and pets.

  • Place on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.

  • Keep away from drafts, curtains, paper and flammable materials.

  • Leave at least 10 cm between burning candles.

  • Trim the wick to about 5 mm before each use.

  • Do not move the candle while the wax is liquid or still hot.

  • Do not expose the candle to direct sunlight or strong heat sources: the shape may soften or deform and it may stain the surface on which it rests.

Shipping & returns

  • Shipping: worldwide

  • Handling time: usually ships in 3–10 working days

  • Corporate/B2B: shipping conditions agreed case by case

  • Returns within 14 days, return shipping paid by the customer – each return has a high environmental and social cost (extra transport and packaging, and less resources supporting the Il Candelaio social workshop and our circular wax project).
