Rehab Barrag, an interior designer who rarely had the chance to practice in her field due to the frequent moves across the globe, found her passion for hollow candles 3 years ago when her children started to grow up allowing her more time for her hobby.
Rehab is a self taught artisan because only limited technique information is available and so she learned her hobby from many time-consuming experiments at home that finally lead to her making beautiful hollow candles.
Rehab’s hollow candles are lit by a tea light, rather than by the candle’s own wick, preserving the hollow candles forever.
The candle making has given Rehab a focus in her day for when the family is away at school or traveling the world for work.
Her candle making passion is growing every time with another candle made to gift to a special friend. Rehab’s candles are available at the ARTE, The Makers’ Market events.
Some candles take several days to accomplish, often up to a week. It begins planning the shape and then it is personalised for the occassion wether this is a family momento, or a seasonal inspiration.Rehab can spend 6 to 7 hours a day working on her creations.
Rehab loves the feedback from the beautiful people that she meets at the markets and engaging with them as they admire her unusual work.
The prices for hollow candles range from AED 150 to AED 500.
