Imagine a candle that doesn’t melt, doesn’t produce soot or smoke, and doesn’t need to be replaced every few hours.
It almost doesn’t sound real but it’s exactly what the Australian-founded Everlasting Candle Co. has achieved.
After taking the US by storm, the family business is now expanding to its homeland, Australia, bringing a sustainable, luxurious alternative to traditional wax candles.

The story of Everlasting Candle Co. begins with two Aussie entrepreneurs, Jesse and Tamara Furgason, who were frustrated by the limitations of traditional wax candles.
“We were looking for a solution to the short lifespan, messiness, and environmental impact of wax candles,” Jesse explains.
“The smoke, soot, and the fact they burned out so quickly led us to create something entirely new.”
What the Furgasons’ created is nothing short of revolutionary: a reusable, oil-burning candle crafted from steel.
The result? An elegant, long-lasting, mess-free experience that’s smoke-free, scent-free, and doesn’t require constant replacement.
The candles, powered by Everlasting Candle Co.’s exclusive Pristine Oil, are designed to burn cleanly for hours, providing a timeless ambience that’s both sustainable and luxurious.
The steel candle body never melts, ensuring the candle maintains its pristine form long after its first use.
This reusable approach to candle burning makes it an eco-conscious alternative for consumers looking to embrace more sustainable, waste-reducing products.
As more people become aware of the environmental impact of single-use goods, Everlasting Candle Co. has positioned itself as a leader in providing a stylish yet responsible solution for home decor.
To celebrate its launch in Australia, Everlasting Candle Co. is introducing a stunning new range of candles that retail from $80 and are inspired by the natural beauty of Australia.
The Jervis Collection pays homage to the breathtaking beaches of Jervis Bay, with designs and colours that evoke the tranquil and picturesque landscapes of Australia’s coastal beauty.
Additionally, the Wylie Collection offers a luxurious selection of steel candles in a variety of colours, from the minimalist elegance of “Clear” to the bold statement of “Golden Hour”’
The Neva Collection, inspired by the magic of a snow globe (with ‘neva’ being the Latin word for snow), brings a minimalistic yet bold aesthetic to the Everlasting Candle range.
These new collections will bring a fresh, Australian-inspired touch to homes, blending the elegance of steel with the beauty of nature.
Everlasting Candle Co.’s debut was better than the Furgasons could have ever imagined — the brand’s website crashed on launch day due to the overwhelming demand from customers eager to get their hands on the product.
And in their first year of business, the Furgasons enjoyed more than $1 million in sales, a remarkable achievement for any startup.
Today, the brand is a multi-million-dollar company, available in over 1000 retail locations, including the prestigious CB2, a major home decor retailer across the United States.
Each year, the brand sells out during the Christmas season, further solidifying its place in the hearts of consumers.
Everlasting Candle Co. is more than just a candle company, it’s a brand with a mission.
Each Everlasting Candle is handmade in Vancouver, Canada, in collaboration with the Disability Association of Canada.
This partnership not only ensures high-quality production but also provides fair and equal employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities, empowering them and creating a more inclusive workforce.
