Story
While visiting her new house in Shiga, Tara stopped by to visit friend of Provider and Akitsu Ryokan owner, Nikita. Adorning the shelves at the Akitsu cafe were some very special ceramic coffee cups made by hand by local ceramicist Nanao Pottery in Shiga. We decided to turn a small batch of them into candles using the exclusive Akitsu scent which blends Australian Wattle & Tatami. Pair it with the matching Akitsu Room Spray and transport yourself to Shiga.
Ingredients & Craft
Our studio is located in Sydney's Surry Hills, it is there we pour and craft each and every one of our candles.
Every Provider candle is designed with a second life in mind. Once the candle has finished burning, simply wash the vessel with warm soapy water and continue using it as a tea cup, coffee cup or planter. If you're nearby, bring it back to our Surry Hills store and we'll refill it with your favourite scent.
Create a layered home fragrance by pairing your candle with our Japanese incense for slower moments or quickly refresh your space throughout the day with one of our room sprays.
