MILK Candle, as it's name suggests, displays gentle and familiar forms which will complement any setting as a decorative sculptural piece while creating a soothing atmosphere when lit. It is one of the earliest inspired designs of AU Collection reminiscent of simpler times and simpler forms. The flame burns a cylinder inside the core in such a way as to leave the sides of the candle intact, transparent.

Andrej Urem transforms candles into works of art by hand-pouring and sculpting wax into architectural forms. Made with USA-grown soy, these candles are designed to burn a cylindrical core through the centre, leaving the sides intact so it appears transparent and illuminated. They can also be used to hold a small tea light when its burn time is spent. Each candle is hand made by Andrej in his New York studio.
"My candles are livable art pieces. They bring a special joy to both those that give or receive them. It is that thought which gives me pleasure and motivation in the creation of producing my unique candles. I am excited to share my creation with you, and am hoping that you will find enjoyment and pleasure in them". –Andrej Urem Poet, sculptor, graphic and product designer
