Penrose Candles was established in 2012 by Amy Voldengen, a graphic designer who started making candles as a hobby from her home kitchen in Portland, Oregon. In 2016, Joe Condon, a producer and Amy’s real-life-partner joined Penrose. Together, they relaunched the brand and introduced the signature white ceramic and walnut lid.
All Penrose products are hand-poured in Portland, Oregon in the historic St. Johns neighborhood. Today, Penrose products are sold in more than 100 independent shops across 30 states and ship around the world.
