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 came after wasn't a return to normal. It was a slower, more intentional kind of life.

How Lunaire was born

The candle that
changed everything

When you survive open heart surgery, you stop taking the small moments for granted. Krish came home from hospital not to the life she'd left — but to something quieter, more present. Candles became her ritual. The flicker of a flame marking time not by the clock, but by feeling. The comfort of a warm scent anchoring her to the now.

But the deeper she fell in love with candles, the more a contradiction became impossible to ignore. For something so deeply tied to wellbeing, mindfulness, and care — why did every beautiful candle leave behind so much waste?

Glass jars stacked up in corners. Too lovely to toss. Too many to keep. She tried everything — DIY projects, repurposing, recycling. Nothing worked. Because single-use candles were never designed with intention. They were designed to be replaced.

That's when Quincy — her partner in life and in Lunaire, with a background in industrial design — stepped in with a question that changed everything.

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. Crafted to be refilled. Built to honour the ritual — not clutter the planet.

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

A refillable Forever Jar — a vessel that blends timeless design with a circular philosophy. Not just reusable. A statement. A commitment. A quiet protest against the culture of disposability.

Our philosophy
"Luxury can be sustainable.
Sustainability 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 someone's home and stays there.

What we stand for

Built on four
unbreakable beliefs

01

Sustainable,
always

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

02

Engraved with
meaning

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

03

Refillable
by design

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

04

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 on the other end.

Our why

For the ones
who light with intention

Lunaire is for the ones who pause. The ones who light with intention, not habit. Who believe luxury can be sustainable, and sustainability can feel luxurious.

We're here to reimagine everyday rituals — infusing them with beauty, care, and permanence. Because the small moments matter. The quiet room. The warm scent. The soft glow that marks time by feeling rather than the clock.

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

Krish — Lunaire co-founder

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.

Quincy — Lunaire co-founder

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?

Each candle is carefully poured and laser-engraved with your personalisation. The result is an object that is both craft and keepsake — no two exactly alike.
