Our Story

Make & Mellow custom candle bar concept grew during a period when many were striving for equilibrium between professional responsibilities and personal lives. Seeking solace, we discovered the therapeutic nature of mixing and hand-pouring candles. Gradually, we integrated candle making into our design endeavors and social gatherings with loved ones. As time passed, our fondness for crafting candles grew into a fervent passion, prompting us to extend our love for design and creation to a broader audience. The chance to merge our passion for design with a genuine connection to people has been an immensely fulfilling and surreal journey for us.
