Gabe Ledesmas | Studio 121 | Embrace Candles

Embrace Candles is an idea ignited by a love for the effect that candles have on our mental and emotional health. During 2020 Gabe and Sara realized just how much they used candles in their home. Candles helped give each room a unique feel. Great candles were hard to come by, so they decided to start making their own.

Through Embrace Candles they hope to encourage the use of candles for happiness and wellness. Our primary mission is simple: to create products that empower the ability to change the feeling of a room. We will do this by handcrafting candles that are high quality yet accessible for everyday use.

In addition we are also pushing our creative minds beyond the essential retail candle designs into developing works of art. We are exploring candle sculptures, creative pillars, painted candles, candles in creative pottery, and even collaborating with other artists to develop art and designs for our retail jar labels.
