Engels Kerzen: Jana

Taper Candle Holder S Ivory

A small shape with a rather good sense of light

JANA S takes up very little room on the table yet creates a beautifully considered place for candlelight. The taper candle holder by Engels Kerzen is formed from two softly rounded shapes stacked one above the other, giving it an organic, almost sculptural silhouette. Finished in warm Ivory, the compact S size has a calm presence that leaves plenty of visual space for the taper candle itself. The holder is made from powder-coated aluminium and measures 5 cm high and 5 cm in diameter, making it the slimmest JANA version and particularly useful when there is not much space left between plates, glasses and bowls. It remains pleasingly versatile, accommodating taper candles with both 2.2 cm and 3.0 cm diameters. A felt pad underneath helps protect delicate table tops and other surfaces. For cleaning, simply wipe the holder with a damp cloth and avoid hot washing to prevent the aluminium body from becoming unnecessarily heated. Each piece includes one JANA candle holder in Ivory. Small, rounded and refreshingly uncomplicated – the candle can take care of the drama.

Five centimetres, surprisingly many possibilities

Thanks to its compact footprint, JANA S slips easily into an existing table setting. A white or cream taper candle creates a soft tonal composition, while taupe, brown and other natural shades add depth to the warm Ivory finish. Stronger colours introduce a deliberate accent and can change the mood with a single candle. The holder works beautifully on its own on a small occasional table or as part of a group across a dining table or sideboard. Advent, Christmas, Easter, birthdays and weddings provide plenty of occasions, although JANA certainly does not need to wait in a cupboard for the next celebration. Its restrained shape makes it an easy year-round home accessory. Combine it with the M and L sizes and the different proportions create a gentle rhythm while the collection's shared curves keep the overall arrangement calm.

A little place reserved for the flame

Engels Kerzen has been making candles since 1933, combining generations of craftsmanship at its manufactory in Kempen, Germany, with contemporary ideas around shape, colour and atmosphere. Its commitment to “Made in Germany” encompasses a considered approach to wax and wicks as well as longevity, burning characteristics and design. Originally particularly known for ecclesiastical candles, the manufacturer has developed its expertise over the decades into a wider candle world for modern interiors and table culture. The JANA collection adds the accompanying accessories to that story. The candle holder performs a practical role while retaining enough character to work as a small decorative object even without a candle. That quiet versatility is something we appreciate at LIVOSY: objects can add atmosphere without dominating a room and remain open to new combinations for years to come.

Quiet on its own, rather charming in company

JANA S in Ivory pairs naturally with taper candles from Engels Kerzen. Engels Fine Line taper candles introduce a wide choice of colours, making it easy to rethink an arrangement according to the season, occasion or simply your mood. For more variation, combine JANA S with the M and L sizes or mix the Ivory finish with the Black version of the collection. Bowls, glassware and other table accessories can join in without turning the table into an overly planned display. At LIVOSY, you will also find Engels Fine Line taper and pillar candles, Klassik ribbed candles, sculptural candles, ENGELS ORIGINAL and Sentimetals Easy scented candles. Candle sharpeners, snuffers and wax adhesive pads take care of the practical side of candle life. JANA S can concentrate on the simpler task: holding the candle, looking good and making the evening a little brighter.
