Our story

When a candle is more than light, it is about us, about Lviv Candle Manufactory. After all, we don't just make and sell candles. We fill the most important moments of your life with light. We create cosiness in your homes. We add flavour to your memories....

The Lviv Candle Manufactory is a family business run by Andrii and Oksana, the founders of the event company DikArt Creative Marketing and professional event organisers.

Their work life is often 24/7, and they have very little time for home, family, and everyday routine. Therefore, they understand how important it is to appreciate every moment and see happiness in simple things. And it is this philosophy of life that Andriy and Oksana decided to embody in a special space - a space for candlelit conversations with a glass of wine, for meeting friends over a cup of coffee, for creativity and inspiration, for memories and traditions. They also wanted to fill this space with the light of candles - handmade candles created with love.

This is how our story began - the story of the Lviv Candle Manufactory. Andrii and Oksana studied all the intricacies of candle production, learning from the experience of European manufactories. They also travelled a lot and were inspired by the bright and soulful candle shops they saw while travelling. When in the winter of 2013 they finally found a place whose atmosphere was in harmony with the idea of a candle space, the puzzle finally came together.

Thus, the Lviv Candle Manufactory appeared on Muzeiana Square, a square that few people knew about, but which has its own unique character and charm.

Initially, the shop and production took up a small space. But over time, we developed, we had more ideas, we grew larger, and we became cramped. So now the Lviv Candle Manufactory is a two-storey space on Muzeiana Square, where we have a shop and a coffee shop, candle masterclasses and wine tastings. We have our own production, we are constantly improving and collaborating with the best craftsmen. And we are very proud of what we do.

Andrii and Oksana are raising two daughters and a son, and Lviv Candle Manufactory has become a place of strength, a place of inspiration and creativity. And they put a lot of effort into making sure that everyone who enters the candle space feels the same way.
