Our Story

Ilana Living is a London-based candle brand founded by twin sisters, Tuana Meris Gürdal and Ilayda Denis Gürdal. With Tuana’s creative eye for design and Ilayda’s analytical background as an engineer, the sisters have seamlessly blended their talents to craft candles that are as functional as they are beautiful. Each candle is hand-poured with care, turning into an exquisite drinking glass once the wax is gone, making every piece a unique work of art adorned with captivating illustrations that tell stories.

Designed for both luxury and sustainability, Ilana Living candles boast a remarkable burn time of 55 to 60 hours. They are more than just candles; they are conversation starters, curated to evoke feelings of nostalgia and wonder. Ilana Living brings a blend of artistry, sustainability, and elegance to your home, creating a lasting impression long after the candle has burned out.
