Munich, 2020, Born from a Lockdown

By Vivi is a Munich-based design brand, founded in 2020 by Vivian Wagner. The brand was born during the first Covid lockdown, when Wagner discovered her creative side and began developing candles using her own technique. From March 2021, dip-dye candles were added — today the centrepiece of the range.

Handmade, Vegan, from Bavaria

All candles are made in the Munich studio, by an exclusively female team that includes single mothers. The wax is vegan: partly paraffin wax from Bavaria, partly organic rapeseed wax from the Netherlands. Cotton wicks, environmentally friendly packaging without excess.

Candles, Jewellery, Sleepwear

The range includes statement candles, dip-dye candles, seasonal Christmas candles, jewellery, cards with bracelets, vases and candle holders. Since 2024, satin sleepwear has been added. By Vivi is represented at Blickfang, Nordstil Frankfurt and via Faire, Ankorstore and Orderchamp in wholesale.

One-of-a-kind pieces by women, for women

The design language is feminine, colourful and personal. Every candle is unique — no assembly-line production, no interchangeable surfaces.
