Splint in cream

Please note: This handcrafted wax object should never be placed on warm surfaces. When using it with burning candles please never leave it unattended and make sure to extinguish the candle when it is still a few centimeters high. Never let the candle burn down completely. Liquid wax from leaking candles can easily be removed from the object’s surface once it has cooled down.

The candles are 80 per cent beeswax, 20 per cent paraffin, and are handmade in the Black Forest exclusively for Oberflacht. Please note that irregularities in shape, colour, size and weight and a grey tinge are typical characteristics of handcrafting beeswax.

It all started with wanting to create a hand-dipped, black taper candle in the blackest black possible. To achieve the purest colour, they realised that they needed to find a unique formula for dyeing the naturally yellow beeswax. And so, in 2020, their first product was born and the foundation laid for everything that was to follow.

Oberflacht is dedicated to handcrafting one-of-a-kind pieces: modern beeswax candles, unexpected in design and rich in colour, created using the most traditional techniques. This artful approach is the shared vision of two friends – one an aesthetic visionary with expansive knowledge in design, the other specialising in interiors, vintage furniture and artisanal objects.

Oberflacht fuses our love for unique, contemporary objects rooted in exceptional craftsmanship and traditional processes. They love beeswax, its natural smell, and the way it changes texture as it is handcrafted into candles. They cherish techniques of the past and strive to bring authenticity to our creations. Their candles create a visual statement yet remain everyday functional objects, bringing light and casting a feeling that soothes the mind and caresses the soul.

International taxes & duties

If you're placing an order from outside of Europe, you might be charged for import duties and taxes by your local customs authority. These costs are directly dependent on the value of the ordered goods, the material they are made of and their country of origin. Because these duties vary per country, we advise you to consult your local customs authorities to inform yourself about possible charges before placing an order with us.

*Remark: as Switzerland and the United Kingdom are not active members of the EU, all imported goods must be customs-cleared. In most cases, this means that you are subject to paying duty on your import.

Please note that if you decide not to pay your import taxes or duties and consequently choose to reject the parcel, you will not be refunded for your order.
