Engels Kerzen: Jana

Taper Candle Holder M Black

Black, rounded and pleasantly understated

JANA M proves that black does not have to feel severe. This taper candle holder by Engels Kerzen translates the collection's soft design language into a compact, almost pebble-like silhouette, creating a calm contrast to the slender lines of a taper candle. Made from aluminium with a black powder-coated finish, the candle holder measures 5 cm high and 6 cm in diameter. That makes it compact enough for a dining table yet distinctive enough to hold its own on a sideboard, windowsill or occasional table. JANA is practical, too: the holder accommodates taper candles with both 2.2 cm and 3.0 cm diameters, giving you the freedom to experiment with different candle widths and colours without changing the holder. A felt pad underneath helps protect delicate surfaces. For cleaning, simply wipe the powder-coated aluminium body with a damp cloth; hot washing should be avoided to prevent the material from becoming unnecessarily heated. Each piece includes one JANA M candle holder in Black. Small in size, yet remarkably good at giving a room a fresh point of focus.

When it comes to colour, black is rather accommodating

The dark finish makes JANA M an easy foundation for all kinds of candle combinations. White and ivory taper candles create a crisp, calm contrast, natural shades add warmth and stronger colours introduce a deliberate accent. Even a black candle works beautifully, creating a monochrome arrangement that lets the holder's soft contours take centre stage. With a diameter of just 6 cm, JANA takes up little room amongst plates, glasses and bowls, making it particularly useful for table settings. It works just as naturally during Advent as it does at Easter, birthdays, weddings or a dinner that needs no official occasion at all. Between those moments, its rounded silhouette remains an appealing home accessory in its own right. For a gentle contrast, combine the Black version with JANA in Ivory and let the shared shape bring the arrangement together.

Candle expertise that has been glowing since 1933

Engels Kerzen draws on more than 90 years of experience. The family-run candle manufacturer has been producing candles in Kempen, Germany, since 1933, combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary ideas around colour, shape and atmosphere. Its commitment to “Made in Germany” extends from the considered use of wax and wicks to longevity, burning characteristics and design. Originally particularly well known for ecclesiastical candles, Engels Kerzen has developed its expertise over the decades into collections for interiors, table culture and modern living. Accessories such as JANA continue that idea, because a considered candle setting begins before the flame is even lit. It is an approach that feels naturally at home at LIVOSY: useful objects with their own character that settle easily into different interiors rather than telling you how a room ought to look.

JANA rather enjoys a little company

The black JANA M works beautifully on its own, but grouping several holders opens up even more possibilities. Combine different JANA sizes to play with heights and rounded silhouettes, or place Black and Ivory together to emphasise the shared shape of the collection. Engels Fine Line taper candles are a natural companion, with different colours making it easy to change the mood throughout the year. At LIVOSY, you will also find Fine Line pillar candles, Engels Klassik ribbed candles, sculptural candles, pieces from the ENGELS ORIGINAL collection and Sentimetals Easy scented candles. Bowls, glassware and other table accessories can complete a personal arrangement, while candle sharpeners, snuffers and wax adhesive pads take care of the practical details. JANA M can stay in place all year and simply change with the candle. Deciding which colour to choose today can happily remain one of life's easier decisions.
