We've always believed that the objects around you shape how you work and think. A good pen changes how you write. The right notebook invites better ideas. And now, we've created a candle that does the same for focus.

WORK is our first in-house product—a collaboration with Amsterdam-based Very Goods Studio—and it's designed as a tool, not just atmosphere.

We didn't want a generic "productivity" candle. We wanted something that actually supports concentration. So we worked with Isil from Very Goods Studio to craft a blend with intention:

Each note has a job to do. Together, they create a scent that helps you settle in and get to work.

This candle is hand-poured in Amsterdam using 100% natural rapeseed wax, essential oils, and paraben-free botanical fragrances. The label—hand-drawn by Timo Kuilder—echoes the thoughtful design of our wrapping paper, tying it back to the Misc Store aesthetic you know.

There's something honest about two Amsterdam businesses creating together. No mass production, no shortcuts. Just thoughtful craft.

WORK is the beginning of a ritual collection. Later in 2025, we'll introduce WAKE UP and RELAX—three candles for three moments in your day. Tools for thought, designed for intentional living.

Whether you're a remote worker shaping your ideal workspace or someone who values quality craftsmanship in everyday objects, WORK is for you. It's a tool that supports better thinking, better focus, and better work.
