An enchanting interplay of sculptural silhouettes, celestial inspiration, and exuberant Italian craftsmanship, La DoubleJ’s latest candle collection transforms the everyday ritual of lighting a candle into an expression of beauty, creativity, and joy.
The brand is strongly visual and spiritual in all kinds of marvelous ways, introducing once more candlelight wonders of design ready to transform your interiors into a meaningful universe of togetherness. The gentle flicker of a flame, the warmth of its reflection, the intimate atmosphere it creates—all have the power to make an ordinary evening feel extraordinary. For J.J. Martin, the visionary founder of Milan-based lifestyle brand La DoubleJ, that transformative quality becomes the inspiration for an imaginative new exploration of decorative design.
La DoubleJ’s Power of Light Candle Collection brings a spirited sense of wonder to contemporary home decor. Inspired by cosmic forms, space stations, and the timeless elegance of traditional crystal candleholders, the collection introduces an expressive assortment of sculptural candles and ceramic creations that celebrate color, craftsmanship, and the pleasure of beautiful surroundings.
A vibrant world of playful proportions, unexpected silhouettes, and striking color combinations, conceived to bring personality and a sense of occasion to interiors stands before your very own eyes. 
A Celestial Vision in Wax and Color
At the heart of the Power of Light collection are three distinctive designs: the Space Station, Space Bubble Candle, and Space Pillar. Each interprets the relationship between light and form through a different sculptural language, inviting an intuitive approach to decorating.
The Space Station introduces a dramatic, obelisk-inspired silhouette defined by its elongated proportions and bold two-tone composition. Crafted entirely from wax, each candle is finished with a hand-sponged lacquer technique that creates subtle variations across its surface. This artisanal treatment gives the individual pieces their own visual character, enhancing the collection’s expressive appeal.
With its architectural presence and unexpected color pairings, the Space Station lends itself beautifully to decorative arrangements. Positioned along a dining table, displayed on a console, or grouped with complementary pieces, its sculptural profile creates a striking focal point even before the wick is lit.
The Space Bubble Candle brings a softer, more rounded sensibility to the collection. Drawing inspiration from La DoubleJ’s existing Murano glass Bubble candleholder, the design translates its distinctive curves and ribbed details into an entirely wax composition.
Its appeal extends into the sensory realm through a delicate fragrance that opens with lively notes of lime and pepper before developing into a warmer, enveloping heart. The combination of scent, color, and sculptural form introduces an additional layer of atmosphere, making the Space Bubble Candle an intriguing choice for intimate gatherings and thoughtfully styled interiors.
Arranged alongside the Space Station or displayed in colorful clusters, the Space Bubble Candle encourages an imaginative dialogue between contrasting shapes and proportions.
The Space Pillar: A Sculptural Keepsake
Perhaps the collection’s most versatile expression of decorative design, the Space Pillar combines a hand-painted ceramic base with a spherical wax candle. Its silhouette recalls the refined ornamental character of traditional crystal candleholders, reimagined through La DoubleJ’s exuberant aesthetic.
Available in two sizes, the Space Pillar has been thoughtfully conceived to remain part of the home long after its candle has burned.
The smaller ceramic base can become a charming resting place for a treasured crystal or meaningful keepsake, while the larger version can be repurposed as a vase. This enduring functionality adds a personal dimension to the design, allowing each piece to evolve naturally within its surroundings.
The contrast between the rounded wax element and the intricately shaped ceramic support creates a pleasing sense of balance, while the hand-painted finish celebrates the craftsmanship central to La DoubleJ’s creative identity.
In a collection inspired by the ephemeral beauty of candlelight, the Space Pillar introduces the pleasure of an object designed to be cherished and rediscovered.
J.J. Martin’s Joyful Philosophy of Living
The Power of Light collection feels particularly expressive of J.J. Martin’s approach to design, in which visual beauty, emotional connection, and positive energy coexist.
Founded in Milan in 2015, La DoubleJ has grown from Martin’s passion for vintage fashion, archival prints, and Italian craftsmanship into an internationally recognized lifestyle brand encompassing ready-to-wear, accessories, jewelry, homeware, and hospitality experiences.
A former fashion journalist born and raised in Los Angeles, Martin has developed a distinctive creative universe shaped by her life in Italy and her fascination with the emotional resonance of color and pattern.
Her philosophy extends beyond aesthetics into the rituals that define everyday life, from dressing with intention to creating welcoming spaces for friends and family.
Within this context, the Power of Light collection becomes a natural expression of her belief in the uplifting possibilities of beautiful objects. Its colorful designs encourage individuality, spontaneity, and a more instinctive approach to interior styling.
Rather than prescribing a particular arrangement, the collection invites personal experimentation. A constellation of candles can animate a festive tablescape, while a single sculptural piece can introduce an unexpected accent to a quiet corner.
The designs are also conceived to complement La DoubleJ’s existing homeware collections, opening up opportunities to combine vibrant patterns, decorative ceramics, and expressive forms.
The Italian Art of Gathering, Illuminated
The launch arrives alongside another creative milestone for Martin: Table Energy: Entertaining with Italian Spirit, her new book published by Vendome Press.
Dedicated to the pleasure of gathering around a beautifully considered table, the publication explores the exuberant spirit of Italian hospitality through evocative photography, colorful settings, and Martin’s personal approach to entertaining.
With a foreword by fashion writer Leandra Medine Cohen, the book travels through a series of memorable Italian occasions, from alfresco lunches in Portofino and sun-drenched celebrations in Taormina to atmospheric candlelit dinners on Lake Como.
La DoubleJ’s richly patterned tabletop collections take center stage, accompanied by expressive floral arrangements and the carefully layered decorative details that have become signatures of Martin’s aesthetic.
The Power of Light candles appear within this world of spirited entertaining, offering a glimpse of how their sculptural forms can enrich a table and shape the atmosphere of a gathering.
Together, the collection and the book reflect a shared creative philosophy: that entertaining is an opportunity to celebrate human connection, individual expression, and the beauty of everyday rituals.
A New Glow for Contemporary Interiors
As decorative objects increasingly become a means of expressing personality within the home, La DoubleJ’s Power of Light collection offers an imaginative interpretation of the candle as both a functional object and a sculptural statement.
Its celestial references bring a whimsical dimension to familiar forms, while its vibrant palette captures the unmistakable optimism of Martin’s design universe. A collection of different heights and colors creates a lively visual rhythm across a dining table, while the contrast between slender silhouettes and rounded forms introduces an engaging sense of movement.
The hand-finished surfaces, ceramic details, and playful proportions reward closer attention, making each design as compelling in daylight as it is when illuminated.
Ultimately, the collection celebrates the small gestures that bring warmth and character into a home. Lighting a candle, arranging a table, or surrounding oneself with meaningful objects becomes an opportunity to embrace beauty with intention. The Power of Light Candle Collection marks a colorful addition to La DoubleJ’s expanding homeware universe. Further information about the brand and its collections can be found at www.ladoublej.com.
