the MUNIO book classes

The idea of Munio, or candle making, began when our founder Elina owned a café. There were candles everywhere to create an atmosphere. Burning hundreds of candles a month came at a cost. There had to be a better way. Elina began researching candle making and came across soy wax as an alternative to paraffin. It burned twice as long! In 2007, Elina and two friends turned candle making into a hobby that quickly became a business.

In 2012, Elina teamed up with her sister Laura to create the powerhouse team they are today. They are a perfect match — what Elina brings to the areas of creativity and product development fits Laura into production, logistics and finance. A truly democratic approach to everything is behind all decisions at Munio. This way of thinking sets Munio apart from others. We are a candle and skincare design studio that is proud of its close-knit team and produces high-quality products in small batches.
