Do you want to know how we got here?
Behind Your Nice Things are myself (Eli), my partner (Carles), and our son Ethan, who has taken the lead at our physical store in the beautiful medieval village of Besalú.
Our story began years ago during a trip to Galicia.
From Santiago to Finisterre, we were captivated by the light of the lighthouses, the silence of the Atlantic, and Celtic symbolism.
That magic sparked a need for a change in our lives. We left the city to find refuge among the volcanoes of La Garrotxa, a healing place where we now have our home and studio.
For a long time, you have joined us on our quest for well-being. However, life moves in cycles, and ours has evolved.
Today, our mission to care for you continues, but in a more subtle and deliberate way.
We felt it was time to focus all our creative energy on what inspires us most today: the handcrafted production of soy wax candles and the creation of special small objects.
The essence of our pieces remains the same: harnessing the benefits of nature and working with top-quality, plant-based ingredients.
Our commitment remains intact, and even as our creative direction transforms, our philosophy is non-negotiable:
Pure Craftsmanship: Every piece is born in our studio in La Garrotxa, handmade and unhurried.
Ethics and Sustainability: We believe in a world where decor and self-care are respectful of the environment and ourselves.
What inspires us today?
The sun, the sea, the mountains, nature, stillness, smiles, surprises, small details, a good cup of coffee or a herbal tea and, above all... things done well ✨.
From our workshop and a light-filled studio, very close to our shop in Besalú, every day we imagine new ways to make your home more magical, unique, and beautiful.
Thank you for joining us in this new chapter. We move forward reminding you that taking care of yourself also means surrounding yourself with beautiful people and things.
