About Us
We have been designing and crafting candles, or should we say ‘playing with wax’ since early 2000.
In 2012 we launched our first brand CandleHand, followed by CandleCan and now OOGNIS. OOGNIS – means ‘fire’ in Lithuania. We play with wax as kids, craft candles as artists, and think of them as philosophers. We celebrate wax and fire in every step of our creative process.
We are super pleased to see all our concept candles being loved and sold worldwide since 2012. We want to continue bringing the most intricate and unique design candles to the market.
All our candles are designed and hand made in Lithuania, EU. We are proud to be creating jobs for people from a small town.
Our Team

Justinas Bružas
Justinas founded CandleHand brand in 2012 after learning the craft of candle making from his dad. He never had an artistic training, but found candle making to be a fun and creative activity that was very different from number based computer sciences that I was studying at that time. Since CandleHand success in the market candle design, prototyping, testing and production management became Justinas’ full time activity. Who would have thought it?
