A different expression of wax
Sculptural pieces designed for the everyday life
Made to burn. Made to keep
We hand-pour soy wax into sculptural forms in our Glasgow studio. Every piece brings together form, texture and fragrance. Once lit, fire introduces its own variations, shifting the wax into silhouettes impossible to repeat.

About Noord
Alba pours every piece by hand in Glasgow, in batches small enough to watch.

How to burn it
A full first burn, a trimmed wick, a dish underneath. That is most of it.

Shaped candles, poured by hand in Glasgow
We make shaped candles from soy wax, poured and trimmed by hand in Glasgow. Each piece is made to be looked at as much as lit.

Ribbed and sculpted pillars
Daphne and Apollo are our classic pillars, softly ribbed, one tall and one short. The Totem, The Thistle and The Column are sculpted pillars in three heights, made to stand together. Browse all our pillar candles.
Sculptural shapes
Braided is two soft curves that meet and cross. A gently fluted form gives Flare the outline of a lantern, and on Waves, flowing lines change with the light. The Shell takes a shape from the shore and makes it large. See every one in our sculptural candles.
Twisted tapers
The Twisted Tapers are the classic dinner candle, twisted into a spiral, in white, beige and terracotta. Each fits a standard candleholder. Shop our taper candles.
Sets and seasonal pieces
Pairs made to stand together are in our candle gift sets. Pumpkins, ghosts and mushrooms arrive with our autumn candles.
Scents
Our scents are Lemongrass, Sandalwood, Pear & Elderflower, Wintergreen, Sea Salt & Sage, Fresh Linen, and Vanilla & Coconut. There is an unscented version too.
No two the same
Every piece is poured and trimmed by hand, so colour and ridging vary a little between candles. We celebrate the imperfections that make each one impossible to repeat.
