About Arte da Chama Velas

Based in the vibrant city of São Paulo, Brazil, Arte da Chama Velas is more than just a candle company – we are artisans dedicated to the time-honored craft of candle making. Founded with a passion for creating not just light, but atmosphere and emotion, our journey began in a small workshop, fueled by a desire to produce candles of exceptional quality and beauty.

Our philosophy centers on sustainable practices and the use of premium, ethically sourced materials. We meticulously select waxes, wicks, and fragrances to ensure a clean burn, captivating scents, and a long-lasting glow. Each candle is hand-poured with precision and care, reflecting our commitment to artisanal excellence. We believe that a candle should be a piece of art, enhancing your space and elevating your moments.

Beyond crafting our signature lines of decorative candles, we specialize in custom formulations, working closely with clients to bring their unique visions to life for special events, corporate gifts, or private labels. This collaborative process allows us to experiment with innovative wax blends, bespoke fragrances, and distinctive packaging designs, pushing the boundaries of traditional candle making.

Sharing our knowledge and passion is at the heart of Arte da Chama Velas. We regularly host hands-on workshops in São Paulo, offering enthusiasts the chance to learn the craft firsthand. This webinar is another extension of that mission, designed to reach a wider audience and demystify the art of creating professional-quality candles from your own home. We cover everything from the science of different waxes to the art of blending fragrances and achieving that perfect, smooth finish.

Our commitment extends beyond the product itself. We strive to build a community around our craft, connecting with fellow makers, customers, and partners who appreciate the beauty and warmth that only an artisanal candle can provide. We navigate the complexities of material science and design with an eye for both innovation and tradition, ensuring consistency and quality in every batch.
