Home Harmony is Emilia’s home studio in Kashubia. Emilia makes soy candles, home fragrances and nature-inspired cosmetics by hand – for the cosmetics she gathers plants herself and turns them into oil macerates. You will find her candles, diffusers and body oils at Locus Artis in Gdańsk.
Home Harmony began three years ago, with a move from Bydgoszcz to Kashubia. A new place, closeness to nature and a different pace of life woke in Emilia the urge to make things. She made her first candle and her first soap, not yet knowing it was the start of a brand. As she puts it herself, Home Harmony “grew out of the need to catch my breath”.
What she likes most is making macerates. She steeps plants she has gathered herself in oil and gives them time – there is something calm in it that she loves most about her work. She then uses them in her cosmetics, because she wants to know every stage: from a plant picked with her own hands to the finished jar.
She does everything herself – gathers the plants, pours the candles, packs the orders. She makes things with ordinary moments in mind: a candle lit in the evening, a favourite body oil after a bath.
What she brought to Locus Artis.
To Locus Artis Emilia brought soy candles, alcohol-free reed diffusers, body oils and a few small travel soaps in tins. She blends the candles’ scent notes herself, so that each composition has a character of its own. Her number one is the diffusers – for a gentle scent that never overwhelms and stays in the home for a long time.
