Luxe Finds - Glaze

I decided to start a new series over here on Kind Of Luxe called Luxe Finds. I wanted a series that I could spotlight on brands, products, articles, etc. that I felt needed their own post! I stumble upon so many awesome finds that end up sitting in my bookmark folder so I decided to give them a little home.

Excited to introduce the first in the Luxe Finds Series:

THE U CANDLE

“Glaze is a Lifestyle product design studio based in New York City. The husband and wife duo behind the studio, Akeem and Stephanie Glaze, launched their namesake in 2017 to create authentic, quality items designed with distinct attention to detail. With equal emphasis placed on form, function, and experience, glaze's products make for arrest- ing, yet subdued, statement pieces for the home. Each piece is carefully crafted and subtly infused with influences from the duo's roots in Palm Beach and the Northeast.”

This stunning candle is not only functional but truly a work of art. I was so shocked at how beautiful and sleek it is as I pulled it out of it’s just-as-well designed box. Made from 100% white beeswax which is naturally bleached through sun exposure, and burns clean. I’m not sure if I will be able to verify this because that means burning the candle which I never want to do!

It’s beautiful shape plus the sleek brass holder is a chic addition to your home.


The U Candle is also a wonderful gift to give for a wedding, to your friends who love candles and well designed products, and of course it’s an amazing host gift. Imagine showing up with this beauty during the holidays!?

Honestly, I’m obsessed with it and have it perfectly placed as the centerpiece of my dinning room table. I now have the Glaze website bookmarked forever because if Akeem and Stephanie Glaze made this stunning candle, I can’t wait to see what else they will create!

Maybe one day I’ll burn it….maybe.

You can purchase the U candle on the Glaze Website!

Inside Samir Shahid's Minimal Home.

'“At work, I have so much stuff around me,” Shahid explains. “And then you come here and it’s serene, calm.” This strict aesthetic applies throughout the apartment, from the streamlined kitchen to the shower taps in the master bath.'

I remember bookmarking this interview forever again but I always look back at it as an inspirationional interior. The sleek, minimal apartment is a breath of fresh air. Everything has a place and a purpose.  

“I always use the words ‘simplicity’ and ‘direct,’ ” he says.

'To enter Shahid’s three-story prewar apartment in Greenwich Village is to understand those words, and to get the sense that success has bought him something else: silence. In a way, it is a reaction to the demanding whirl of fashion. He has created a nearly empty setting in which even his most soul-satisfying possessions — books, art — are banished from sight behind doors that blend seamlessly with the walls. It’s as though he has chosen to contain his passions in order to clear his head and, at the same time, draw out the openness of the space.'
