Handmade Scented Candles & Jesmonite Home Décor
Bringing Light, Style & Sustainability to Your Home
Welcome to Kendi, a family-owned brand passionate about creating handmade scented candles and minimalist home décor inspired by Scandinavian design. Founded in 2023 by Ivanna and Jakub, our mission is simple: craft eco-friendly candles and accessories that combine elegance, sustainability, and functionality.
Our Story
Our journey began with a shared love for nature and a desire to create something beautiful and lasting. Combining Jakub’s craftsmanship experience with Ivanna’s artistic vision, we started making candles that not only smell amazing but are also sustainable and refillable. Each piece is thoughtfully designed and hand-poured in Sweden, using natural soy wax, IFRA-certified fragrances, and eco-conscious materials.
Our Values & Process
At Kendi, sustainability drives everything we do. We design, cast, and finish every product in-house – from Jesmonite trays and coasters to refillable candle containers. Our process includes:
3D design & prototyping for unique shapes
Handmade Jesmonite accessories with Scandinavian minimalism
Soy wax candles infused with premium, cruelty-free fragrance oils
Personalized details like engraving and custom labels
Every item is crafted to reduce waste, promote reuse, and celebrate quality over quantity.
What We Create
Handmade Soy Wax Scented Candles – clean-burning, refillable, and beautifully packaged
Jesmonite Home Décor – trays, coasters, and holders that elevate any interior
Personalized Gifts & B2B Solutions – perfect for homes, spas, salons, and concept stores
Our Mission
We believe that a candle is more than a fragrance – it’s an experience filled with emotions. Each Kendi candle is designed to create a sense of warmth, comfort, and tranquility, transforming everyday moments into something special. Whether you light a candle to relax after a long day, set the mood for a cozy evening, or make a space feel inviting, our products are here to evoke feelings of calm, happiness, and connection.
