the MUNIO buchen

The idea of Munio or candle making began when our founder Elina owned a cafe. There were candles everywhere to create an ambiance. Burning through hundreds of candles each month came at a cost. There had to be a better way. Elina began researching candle making and stumbled upon soy wax as an alternative to paraffin. It burned twice as long! Elina and two friends turned candle making into a hobby in 2007, which quickly grew into a business.

In 2012 Elina joined forces with her sister Laura to create the powerhouse team they are today. They're a natural fit - what Elina brings in creativity and product development, Laura matches in production, logistics, and finance. A truly democratic approach to everything is behind all decision-making at Munio. This mindset is what sets Munio apart from others. We're a design candle and skincare studio that takes pride in its close-knit team and creating small-batch, quality products.
