Handmade Florentine Taper Candles | 40 cm

Original by design. Handmade in Tuscany.

40 cm height · 180 g per candle · Approx. 10 hours burn time per candle · Silicone adapter included

Contemporary elegance, inspired by Florence.

Inspired by traditional Florentine woodturning, Silhouette is a collection of designer taper candles that brings together Italian craftsmanship, original design and timeless elegance.

Standing 40 cm tall, their elongated proportions, distinctive profiles and refined details make them a striking addition to elegant dining tables, sophisticated interiors and beautifully curated events.

Every Silhouette candle is an original Lume design, made using exclusive moulds created specifically for our brand. Distinctive shapes you won't find anywhere else.

Designed and entirely crafted in Tuscany, each candle follows a local creative journey through Florence, Pietrasanta and Sesto Fiorentino before being hand-poured at Il Candelaio, our social workshop in Florence.

Available in Pure White or Recovered Wax, Silhouette combines contemporary aesthetics with authentic craftsmanship and meaningful social value.

EXCLUSIVE DESIGN

Original forms. Exclusively Lume.

Every Lume candle begins with an original design.

Unlike conventional candles produced using commercially available moulds, our collections are developed from exclusive designs, created specifically for Lume.

For Silhouette, we drew inspiration from the proportions, curves and decorative profiles of traditional Florentine woodturning, reinterpreting this artisanal heritage through a contemporary design language.

The interplay of volumes and elongated lines creates a distinctive aesthetic that feels equally at home in classic and modern interiors.

More than a source of light, Silhouette is a decorative design object, bringing character and elegance to any setting, even when unlit.

Designed to be different. Made to be noticed.

MATERIALS & FINISHES

Two expressions of wax.

Silhouette is available in two finishes, each highlighting a different aspect of its original design.

PURE WHITE — 100% Paraffin Wax

A pure, uniform and luminous white that enhances the candle's elegant contours and precise details.

Its refined monochromatic finish makes it ideal for contemporary interiors, luxury table settings, weddings and events where colour consistency is essential.

AVORY WHITE — Reclaimed Wax

Made using wax recovered from the churches of Florence, this version expresses the circular approach at the heart of Lume.

Subtle colour variations, delicate nuances and natural marbling give each candle its own individual character.

The result is a contemporary design object that gives new life to an existing material, bringing together craftsmanship, resource recovery and a more considered approach to production.

THE LUME PHILOSOPHY

Design with a purpose.

Choosing a Lume candle means choosing an original object with a story of craftsmanship, people and place.

Every candle is conceived and manufactured through a local Tuscan production network that celebrates independent artisans, traditional skills and contemporary creativity.

At the heart of our production is Il Candelaio, a social workshop in Florence where people experiencing homelessness or social exclusion can access meaningful work and opportunities for inclusion.

Our Recovered Wax candles add another dimension to this philosophy by transforming reclaimed wax into new design objects, extending the life of an existing material.

Through original design, local craftsmanship, social inclusion and the responsible use of resources, Lume offers a more considered approach to contemporary candle making.

Original by design. Handmade in Tuscany. Made with purpose.

WEDDING & EVENT CANDLES

The art of setting the table.

A memorable table is defined by beautiful proportions, thoughtful details and the atmosphere created by candlelight.

With their elegant 40 cm height and distinctive profiles, Silhouette candles are ideal for wedding planners, event designers and hospitality professionals looking for original elements to elevate their tablescapes.

Arranged in pairs or repeated along long banquet tables, they introduce refined vertical accents that complement floral arrangements, fine linens, ceramics and glassware.

Perfect for luxury weddings, destination weddings in Tuscany, private dinners, gala receptions, fashion events and exclusive celebrations, Silhouette adds a sophisticated finishing touch to every setting.

With an approximate burning time of 10 hours per candle, they are also well suited to extended dinners and evening events.

Choose Pure White for a consistent, elegant aesthetic or Recovered Wax for a more natural, individual finish.

CANDLES FOR INTERIOR DESIGN

Distinctive details for curated spaces.

Silhouette is designed for interiors where every detail contributes to the overall atmosphere.

Inspired by Florentine decorative craftsmanship, its elegant proportions create a natural dialogue between Italian heritage and contemporary interior design.

Displayed on a dining table, console or mantelpiece, these decorative taper candles introduce an elegant visual accent, complementing natural stone, marble, wood, metal and fine textiles.

The collection is particularly suited to residential interiors, boutique hotels, luxury hospitality spaces, restaurants and carefully curated retail environments.

Created using exclusive Lume moulds and crafted entirely in Tuscany, Silhouette offers architects and interior designers an original alternative to standard decorative candles.

MADE IN TUSCANY

Four steps. Three Tuscan towns. One vision.

From the first sketch to the finished candle, every Lume creation follows an entirely Tuscan design and production process, bringing together specialised skills and local artisanal expertise.

FLORENCE — Original Design

Every candle begins in Florence, where Lume develops original designs inspired by the city's artistic, architectural and decorative heritage.

PIETRASANTA — 3D Development

The design takes three-dimensional form in Pietrasanta, a Tuscan town internationally recognised for its artistic craftsmanship and tradition of working with form.

SESTO FIORENTINO — Exclusive Moulds

Each design is transformed into a custom-made mould in Sesto Fiorentino. Developed exclusively for Lume, these original moulds ensure that every shape remains distinctive to our collections.

FLORENCE — Handmade Production

The candles are finally hand-poured and finished at Il Candelaio, a social workshop in Florence that creates employment opportunities and supports the inclusion of people experiencing social marginalisation.

This fully Tuscan production journey reflects our commitment to original design, local craftsmanship and responsible manufacturing.

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

Designed to elevate both everyday moments and special occasions, Silhouette candles bring elegance, height and character to any setting.

Arrange them in pairs for an intimate dinner, or create rhythmic compositions along long banquet tables for weddings and exclusive events. Their distinctive 40 cm profiles pair beautifully with floral arrangements, fine linens, ceramics and contemporary tableware.

Beyond the dining table, Silhouette makes a refined decorative statement on consoles, mantelpieces and sideboards, even when unlit.

Each set includes two silicone adapters, allowing the candles to fit securely into a variety of compatible candleholders. Always ensure each candle is stable and upright before lighting.

How to care for your Silhouette candles.

  • Place each candle in a stable, heat-resistant candleholder, using the included silicone adapter when appropriate.

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

  • Keep candles away from draughts, direct heat sources and flammable materials. Maintain at least 10 cm between burning candles.

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep away from children and pets.

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

  • The approximate 10-hour burn time per candle may vary according to environmental conditions and use.

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).
