Dragonfly Design is the brand of Alena, who hand-makes soy candles with natural essential oils in Pomlewo near the Tricity, by a lake with a view of the forest. She makes the vessels herself in her home studio, from polymer plaster, in a raw Nordic style. Her candles, wax burners and wax melts are at Locus Artis in Gdańsk.
She has always loved gazing into a candle flame – it gave her calm. She started making her own candles and scent blends at a difficult time in her life. What began as a way of finding herself grew, over time, into a passion and into Dragonfly Design.
The Nordic style is closest to her heart: simplicity, rawness and harmony with nature. She is inspired by the textures of rock, the colours of the forest and the scents of wild meadows, which she carries into her vessels and candles. Natural essential oils matter most to her – as she puts it, they give the candles their soul.
What she brought to Locus Artis.
To Locus Artis Alena brought soy candles with natural essential oils in vessels she makes herself, as well as wax burners and wax melts. For herself she would pick the TERRA candle: this raw, rock-inspired vessel is where her adventure with polymer plaster and the Nordic style began.
