A paraffin wax candle with an aluminum skeleton cast inside — designed by Icelandic designer Thorunn Arnadottir and produced by 54 Celsius. As the wax burns down over approximately 16 hours, it gradually exposes a full unicorn skeleton — ribs, spine, and horn — made from cast metal. The candle is unscented and arrives in an eco-friendly gift box. Certified to meet US and EU candle safety standards.
The piece sits somewhere between object and novelty, drawing on a tradition of candles designed to reveal rather than simply burn — a format 54 Celsius has refined across several skeleton figures. The visual payoff is slow and deliberate: the wax shrinks away from the form over hours, making the reveal part of the experience rather than a surprise unwrapping. It reads well on a mantlepiece, shelf, or side table where the full figure can be seen.
This is a conversation piece that functions as a candle first. It works in a study, living room, or any shelf that already has some personality — alongside objects, books, or other collected curiosities. Once burned, the metal skeleton remains as a standalone object worth keeping.
