The horizontal stripe is one of the oldest decorative decisions in architecture. The Cathedral of Siena, begun in 1226, faced its entire interior and exterior in alternating bands of white and green marble — a visual rhythm so striking that the building became the template for Gothic striping across Tuscany. The Orvieto Cathedral responded in black and gold; later builders carried the language north. In the Romanesque period, banded stonework marked importance: the stripes were not decoration but signal, telling you from a distance that this building was worth attention.
The Set of 3 Striped Pillar Candles translates that signal at domestic scale. Each pillar is hand-poured from 100% natural soy wax at our Orlando studio, with horizontal banding built into the wax itself across the full height. Three pillars at varying heights, grouped as a set for a composed mantlepiece or shelf arrangement. Available in 10 colors, unscented, so the graphic surface can work in any room.

FAQs — Set of 3 Striped Pillar Candles
Are all three striped pillars the same height?
The set includes three pillars at varying heights — the graduated sizing creates the composed, layered look. All three share the same stripe pattern and are poured in your chosen color.
Is the striped pattern printed onto the candle?
No — the stripes are built into the wax itself through a layered pouring process. As the candle burns, the stripe pattern continues through the interior, not just on the surface.
Are these pillar candles scented?
No — unscented. The bold graphic surface is the design statement. Natural soy wax has a subtle neutral warmth when burned, without adding a competing fragrance.
Do the pillars need a holder?
A flat plate or tray under each pillar is recommended to protect your surface during extended burns. No specialized holder is required.
Is this a good gift set?
Yes — the set ships in gift-ready packaging. Three coordinated pillars in a matching stripe and color read as a considered, complete gift. For home decorators and design-focused recipients, this is an easy choice.
Are these candles made from natural wax?
Yes. 100% natural soy wax, lead-free cotton wick, no paraffin, no synthetic blends — handmade in Orlando, FL.
