Alterlyset Candles - the candle classics from Denmark

Jens Andreas Dahl Hansen founded the Hygge Lys candle factory in Copenhagen in 1950. His company quickly became one of the leading suppliers of candles in Denmark. Jens designed a beautiful, sculptural and minimalist light which - thanks to the special shape of the base - stands firmly on the tabletop even without a candle holder: The Alterlyset candle. Now in its 4th generation, the candles are produced in the traditional way: Candles made from 100% pure stearin - without added colour - are poured by hand. 100% pure vegetable stearin candles have a fine crystalline structure, which begins to glow in an enchanting way in the light of the candle flame. After a while, an exciting lattice pattern appears on the outer edge of the candle.
