The Crandall Legacy

Forged in the fires of 1924

What began as a modest endeavor in a small outbuilding has blossomed into a century-long tradition. Elias Crandall, an apothecary with a fascination for botany, sought to create a light source that didn't just illuminate a room, but enriched it.

Through meticulous experimentation with early soya wax blends and essential oils, the foundation for Lumina was laid. The methods were rigorous, the tools were simple, but the intention was profound: to craft a domestic sanctuary through scent and light.
