How does ester & erik cater to the specific needs of their clients?
ester & erik has developed an over-dipping wax which allows the entire colour palette to come into its own. The over-dipping wax also has a bearing on the depression which forms around the wick when the candle burns. The wax ensures that the depression is exactly the right size to prevent the wick from drowning and the candle from dripping.
Twice a year, we launch new colours. We keep an eye on current trends, and work with designers to decide on the right hues and shades. Having received samples of the new colours, we develop each colour in production, testing the colour concentration in the vat and the number of dips required to achieve the desired end-result.
