Who we are
About 54Celsius
We create decorative candles with bold, colorful, and on-trend designs. Our products are developed in-house, in collaboration with visionary designers, and sourced from expert candlemakers. From unboxing your candle to the flame's last flicker, every element of the 54Celsius experience is thought through with the user, and the planet, in mind.
We use only top-quality ingredients to ensure our candles burn cleanly and safely. Our packaging materials are compostable, biodegradable, or recyclable. We have eliminated single use plastics from all 54Celsius branded goods, and are working with our partner brands to help them do the same.
Meet the team
Thorunn Arnadottir
Co-Founder and Creative Director
Thorunn spends her days figuring out how to turn the mundane into the divine. Well, divine might not be quite the right word - rather, unexpected, gorgeous, thought provoking, and preposterously fun. Could it be Iceland? Maybe endlessly bumping into the same people sends the imagination into uncharted territory.

Dan Koval
Co-Founder and Managing Director
Dan lives for turning a great concept into a finished product and then fostering it until it holds its own in the marketplace. He gets giddy with excitement about the details that make most people's eye's droop to half-mast. Factory tour? Woohoo! Anyone fancy a pint and a long discussion about distribution strategy? Who's up for a late-night chat about environmentally friendly packaging materials?
Jana Hercoga
Operations Manager
Jana is in the business of "now". That means orders going out now, new stock arriving now, answers to distributor and retailer questions now, and keeping the accounts up to date now. In short: everything... now. If Jana had an avatar, it would be the 6 armed Hindu Goddess, Durga.
