Studio Valun – Soma Set
69,00 €
incl. VAT plus Shipping Costs
The Soma Set is a group of hand dipped beeswax candles by Studio Valun. Nina Petermandl dips each candle by hand and reshapes it many times while the wax is still warm. Soma is the Greek word for body. The series comes from her own experience as a mother of three. Pregnancy and birth changed her body and her inner life. The candles give form to these changes, which often get too little attention. They stand for marks we can see and marks we cannot.
The series belongs to her project “Nothing lasts forever, the fruity days are over”. The white beeswax gives a calm, soft light and a faint scent of honey.

About the Artist / Designer / Brand
Studio Valun – Soma Set
Studio Valun is a Vienna design studio founded in 2021 by artist and designer Nina Petermandl. Her studio and showroom are in Vienna’s 7th district. She shares the workshop with carpenters and a painter.
Petermandl learned the traditional craft of candle making and works almost entirely with wax. She makes every beeswax candle by hand and often gives it a sculptural form. The human body and its changes are a recurring theme in her work. She sees wax as a circular material, because it can be melted down and used again.
