About Us

Casa Millefiori: The Christmas Market People

Since we started our business, we have felt a strong connection to the most beautiful traditions of German Christmas customs. That is why we started out as an exclusive distributor of hand-made art candles and lanterns at our homeland's classic Christmas markets, whose unique, romantic atmosphere attracts millions of guests from all over the world every year during Advent.

We owe our company identity to our many years of experience as street vendors in the most magnificent, festively decorated squares in Germany. But our product philosophy is based above all on the countless, direct and personal encounters with the many people who gave us a brief insight into their deeper wishes, desires and preferences.

As Christmas Market People from the very beginning, we still see ourselves as pioneers who see their primary task as developing products that – in a trendy and contemporary way – fulfil people’s eternal need for intimate, contemplative and individual mood staging.

As original candle dealers, we continue to be passionate about everything that provides warmth, security and sensuality, and believe that – today as in ancient times – “living candlelight” makes a decisive contribution to this.

FAQ

  • How long does shipping take?
    We need between 1 and 4 days for processing. Domestic delivery then depends on DHL.

  • What are the benefits of registering for a customer account?
     You can view your past orders, easily change customer data and apply it at checkout, and receive notifications about new offers and updates (the latter is optional).

  • Do the scented candles have a strong/pungent smell?
    No, you can smell the candle when you light it, but a single one won't fill an entire room. Happy Home scented candles contain the most fragrances and, thanks to the lid, retain them the longest.

  • Do you also have beeswax candles?
     No, we don't carry beeswax candles. However, we do have a large selection of other candles and tea light holders.

  • Do the Illoomi metal bowls get hot when a tea light is placed in them, or does a soot stain form?
     No, as long as you don't use too large a flame, nothing will happen to the bowls. We recommend a small tea light, and for the larger models, larger round tea lights or several small ones placed side by side. The bowls look best with transparent tea lights.

  • Can the Illoomi metal bowls also be used outdoors?
    Due to the delicate coating of the interior, contact with moisture should be avoided, and the shell can also develop rust. Therefore, it is best used indoors or in a conservatory.
