Lunaire — our story

From Survival
to Stillness.

From Waste to Ritual. Lunaire began with a flame lit long before our first candle was ever poured.

The beginning

In 2014, open heart surgery cracked everything open — not just a chest, but a way of living. What followed wasn't a return to normal. It was slower. More intentional.

Krish — after open heart surgery

How Lunaire was born

The moment
everything shifted

At 14, I underwent open heart surgery.
When I came home, life felt different. Slower. More fragile. More intentional.

Candles became part of my recovery - not just for light, but for comfort. For calm. For creating small moments that felt safe again.

But over time, something didn’t sit right.
Every candle I loved left something behind.

Beautiful jars I couldn’t throw away.
Too many to keep.
Too wasteful to ignore.

I tried to reuse them. Store them. Repurpose them.
Nothing actually solved the problem. Because the truth is - most candles are designed to be replaced, not kept.

That’s when Quincy, my partner (and an industrial designer), asked a simple question:

Why isn’t there a candle you can keep forever?

That question became Lunaire

The spark — 2022

What if candles
could be more?

Together, Krish and Quincy asked a simple question: What if a candle wasn't something you burned through — but something you kept?

Not just beautiful to burn. Designed to last. Built to be refilled. Crafted to honour the ritual, not clutter the room.

In 2022, after months of design and testing — and an unwavering refusal to compromise — Lunaire was born.

Our philosophy

"Luxury can be responsible.
Responsibility can feel luxurious."

These aren't competing ideas. At Lunaire, they were always the same idea — expressed in every material chosen, every vessel crafted, every candle that finds its way into a home and stays there.

What we stand for

Built on four
unbreakable beliefs

Responsible,
always

From raw materials to vessel to packaging — every touchpoint is vegan, responsibly sourced, and intentionally considered. The refillable model isn't a feature. It's the entire point. We refused to build something beautiful that ended in a bin.

Engraved with
meaning

Every Lunaire comes with complimentary custom engraving. A candle that holds a name, a date, or a private message between two people is no longer just a candle. It's a memory. Something kept forever.

Refillable
by design

Keep the vessel. Replace the scent. The Forever Jar was engineered — with Quincy's industrial design expertise — to outlast every refill. One jar. Infinite moods, seasons, and memories. Never disposable. Always evolving.

Made with
intention

Lunaire was born from personal experience — from knowing what it means to slow down and find comfort in ritual. That's not a marketing line. It's why every decision, from wick to packaging, is made with care for the person at the other end.

Our why

For the ones who
light with intention

Lunaire is for the ones who pause. Who believe a beautiful object should earn its place — and keep it.

We're here to reimagine everyday rituals with beauty, care, and permanence. The quiet room. The warm scent. The soft glow that marks time by feeling, not the clock.

Forever isn't just a word to us. It's how we design, how we live, and how we love.

Quincy

Co-founder & Head of Design

With a background in industrial design, Quincy brought the engineering rigour that turned an idea into an object worth keeping. The Forever Jar is his answer to the question Krish posed: what if something beautiful could also be permanent?

Krish

Co-founder & Director

Open heart surgery in 2014 changed Krish's relationship with time, stillness, and the small rituals that make a life feel full. Lunaire is her answer to a world that moves too fast and discards too easily — a brand built from lived experience, lit with purpose.
