Concrete Candleholders by KOLÓS
Founded in 2025 by Janna Schellens and Alejandro Mayer, is a Mexican design house that is reimagining what the humble candle can be. Celebrating craftsmanship and Mexican heritage, the duo has developed a line of concrete candle vessels that reference brutalist and contemporary Mexican architecture.
The minimalist pieces are hand-crafted in their workshop using a special blend of concrete and reclaimed marble powder (a byproduct sourced from local stone-cutting), which lends the material a smooth and refined finish. Enhancing the polished look are four Mexico-inspired colours: the deep charcoal-toned Sacred Ash, the soft mineral hue Velvet Dust, the warm and earthy reddish Adobe Haze and the muted green-grey Agave Mist. Two wax variations are available, a 100 per cent plant-based, sustainably sourced soy and palm wax blend for indoors and a mineral wax blend resistant to high and low temperatures for outdoors (along with a sturdy wick that withstands wind). Three widths are offered — medium (22 cm), large (28 cm) and extra-large (38 cm) — that solidify the candles’ architectural presence.
