PyroPet Kisa Cat Candle, Burgundy

A geometric cat candle with a secret. Unlit, Kisa is a faceted burgundy sculpture. Lit, she melts slowly down to an aluminum skeleton, skull first, with the flame burning through the eye sockets. It takes about twenty hours of burning to get there, and the drips are part of the show, so set her on a flameproof plate about ten inches across and let her cool before relighting.

Designed in Iceland by Thorunn Arnadottir. Dark enough for October, handsome enough for the mantle the rest of the year.

Unscented paraffin with a cotton wick and aluminum skeleton, 6.7 by 2.9 by 4.5 inches, in a plastic free gift box that shows the candle on one side and what becomes of her on the other.
