Wax in the spotlight

The house’s iconic raw material is reinvented to pave the way for new designs and breathe life into a series of new pieces. This collection is an ode to wax-making artistry.

For more than 50 years,this Portuguese family business,nestled on the outskirts of Fatima,has been producing some of the most exquisite wax objects the world over. It all began when the company’s founder started making religious candles for his neighborhood church. The wax had to be of the utmost quality to ensure the candles would last until the end of the religious processions and keep their shape as they were moved from place to place. Today, although times have changed, the quality of Manulena wax remains the same. Used for the simplest and most sophisticated designs, Manulena wax is the perfect ingredient for diptyque’s vases, modern replicas of the Médici period, adorned with a white bisque cameo. Manulena wax is both firm and supple, perfect for holding water and flowers,and reveals an exquisite patina over time.
