MAHŌ - The MAHO GAIWAN Project

A curated artist collaboration featuring four distinct candle scents inspired by timeless memories unlocked by the GAIWAN.

Symbolising a light in the dark and guide to illuminating the spirit, the act of burning candles embodies a sense of healing, purification, and ritualistic cleanse. Designed to reset and immerse the holder in an all-encompassing moment, MAHŌ Sensory Candles come to life when lit. Believing in the power of engaging all five senses, MAHŌ Gaiwans unlock the mind and open the door to an unforgettable escape.

Curious in their story and design, each MAHŌ Gaiwan Candle embodies a time and place curated by a Melbourne-based artist. Unique in their background and style, each collectable piece reveals a memory, a place, a moment in time captured by the creator. A personal journey revealed through burning, each candle unveils a sensory getaway with each discovered note.

Surreal Flower

Inspired by the music festival Woodstock in 1969, at the height of the flower power movement, the 3-day festival brought together artists and people to celebrate and inspire each other to 'give peace a chance.' Artist Lukas Kasper applies his distinctive street art illustration style for a psychedelic-infused antidote to being free to express yourself.

Blending reality with abstract design, Surreal Flower pays homage to a place of gritty earth, soul, and flower power. Grounding delicate tiaré with tobacco and bitter orange, this sweet escape of ecstatic dreaming and hazy nights is smoothed with caramel and sweet vanilla. Soft, earthy, and surreal, Woodstock’ 69 drives creativity and a free state of mind.

For centuries, candles have been used as the light in the darkness of life and illuminating one’s spirituality through healing, purification and cleansing. MAHŌ introduces a candle series featuring the GAIWAN tea vessel and four unique fragrances now unlocked for the very first time.

BrandWorks, in collaboration with lifestyle brand, MAHŌ SENSORY and founder, Joshua Tong, introduces its luxury SENSORY CANDLE series, featuring emerging Melbourne artists in the creation of its brand identity to packaging design.
