Where imagination meets wax
Based in Oslo, I handcraft candles and accessories that bring colour, character, and a spark of joy to everyday spaces.
My pieces are playful, a little unexpected, and made with care. Whether it’s an Eclipse to set the mood, a croissant that won’t go stale, or a glowstick that steals the show. I'm not just making candles, but making little moments.
From wax to wonder
Every CHIMÄR candle is made from scratch. I blend the colours, melt the wax, and pour each piece individually. Nothing mass-produced, dipped, or sprayed.
I mainly use soy wax because it’s plant-based, biodegradable, and gentler on people and the planet. It also blends beautifully with colour, which means our candles look as good as they burn.
No two are quite the same, and that’s the way we like it. Each one carries traces of the pour, the pigment, the process. A little irregular. A little magic.
🔥 Light it up, or just admire the view.
Who’s behind the wax?
I’m Tara — the hands, soul, and eyes behind CHIMÄR.
CHIMÄR was sparked in a quiet corner of London during the pandemic — a time when I craved colour, texture, and the joy of making something with my own hands.
Now, in a new chapter as a mum and maker in Oslo, that spark has only grown.
With roots in art, storytelling, and the beautifully weird world of the internet, I pour a playful sense of wonder into everything I create. CHIMÄR is more than candles — it’s a little burst of light, colour, and character for your space.
