Description
When I discovered the Olga Goose Candle collection, I was instantly captivated by its playful mystique and sculptural storytelling. Born from the brilliant imagination of Tokyo artist Risa Hiratsuka, the original idea for OLGA traces back to a striking performance by an actress portraying a bizarre, mesmerizing villainess: a creature with the head of a woman and the body of a goose. From this archival spark of oddity, the "goose lady" persona was born, shaping a collection of candles that function as personal ritual tools for the modern home.
Every single Olga Goose Candle is entirely handmade and completely original. Because each piece is sculpted individually, no two are exactly alike—capturing a distinct personality through shifting shapes, vibrant colors, and hand-painted expressions. Because of the intensive, small-batch nature of her process, we wait many months to receive our delivery from Tokyo, and they sell very quickly once they arrive.
Hidden within the wax of each character is a unique Magic Message. As the flame burns, it acts as a quiet catalyst, intended to help you draw an invisible force out of yourself and unlock the hidden power within. Arriving with the artist's signature sentiment—With love and curse! Infused with custom fragrances, each creation is a highly limited standalone art piece exclusively available at select boutiques. Built for effortless, surrealist charm, it serves as a dependable companion to an intentional, well-curated living space and makes the perfect gift for yourself or a friend.
