Metre Candles
London
It all started with a candle - a very tall candle. As an event designer in London, our founder Jessica Lucas was a magpie when it came to sourcing the unusual and one of a kind - so when a friend spotted a pair of towering church candles for sale in Madrid, they were too perfect a gift to leave behind (even if they wouldn’t fit in her suitcase).
There was just one problem: she only had two of them. And so began a two and a half year hunt to source candles on a grand scale - and when she couldn’t, to find the artisans who would be able to make them.
"I created METRE Candles with that magic in mind. Whoever you are, whatever your reason, sometimes everyone just needs a moment to own something special.” - JESSICA LUCAS FOUNDER & DIRECTOR
Proudly independent
A few favourite PIECEs
All of our candles are poured by hand, using 100% natural and vegan palm kernel wax for the cleanest burn at home. Our wax is certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), which oversees workers rights, forest management, and the supply chain. After pouring over vintage paint swatches and Japanese colour sheets, we created 15 signature colours, from understated classics to unexpected, irreverent bolts of bright pigment.
Metre candles aren’t just for grand events, or even grand rooms. As a student, Jessica’s favourite little luxury was a single hydrangea, wrapped in paper and tied with a bow at the florist, a bright spot of beauty in her bedroom. Metre candles were created to find that magic in the everyday, to create moments wherever you light them.
