About Meltdown
Made by hand, in Nashville
Meltdown is a candle design studio. Every candle is hand-poured in small batches, with pure soy wax and scents we'd want in our own kitchen.
Meltdown started in a small Nashville kitchen in 2024 when Maria wanted a candle that looked like her morning iced latte. There was nothing on the shelf that felt like the way she actually lived, so she made it herself.
What started as a gift for friends turned into a waiting list, then a business. Today, every Meltdown candle is poured by hand in small batches with the same intent: to make something familiar feel a little bit special.
"A candle should make a room feel like somewhere you want to be."
