About Us

Designed and founded in London by Seyhan Gunay Karakaya, inspired by calm spaces and intentional living.

Warm Warren London began as a very personal journey. I’m a designer, a maker, and a woman who has been living and working in the UK for many years. After spending much of my life creating visual worlds for others, I felt a growing desire to create something tangible — something that could be touched, felt, and experienced in everyday life. Candles became that medium.

In moments of rest, reflection, and quiet evenings at home, I found comfort in small rituals. Lighting a candle, slowing down, and allowing warmth to fill a space felt deeply grounding. Warm Warren was born from this simple need: to create calm, beautiful moments in a busy world.


 

Designed with Care, Made with Intention

Every Warm Warren candle is designed with the same attention to detail I’ve brought to my design career for years. I care deeply about form, balance, and atmosphere — not only how a candle looks, but how it makes you feel.

Our candles are handmade in small batches, allowing space for natural variation and character. Each piece reflects patience, care, and intention.

 



Why Golden Soy Wax

Choosing the right wax was one of the most important decisions in building Warm Warren.

We use European Golden Soy Wax 464, produced in Sweden by AAK, a globally respected manufacturer known for its strong commitment to sustainability. Made from responsibly sourced soybean oil, this wax is GMO-free, vegan-friendly, and carefully refined for premium candle performance.

We work with a UK-based supplier and consciously avoid low-quality paraffin wax or mass-produced materials. What you burn in your home matters — for your health, for the environment, and for peace of mind.

A Brand Built on Warmth

 

Warm Warren London is more than a candle brand. It’s an invitation to slow down, to create space, and to enjoy life’s quieter moments. Warmth, for us, is not just a flame — it’s a feeling of comfort, safety, and presence.

Thank you for being here and for supporting a small, woman-founded brand built with care.
