What’s in a name?
House Five is a lighting and candle company based in Dublin’s historic Botanic District.
We create luxury products with an emphasis on traditional craftsmanship and the highest quality materials. All of our products are handmade in our Dublin studio and all of our materials are responsibly and sustainably sourced.
We take our name from the Dublin Candle Law of 1616. This law required every fifth house to maintain a lit candle in the window within certain hours so as to guide the night path for passersby.
Now more than four centuries later we aim to continue this noble tradition.
Harmony through design
The are over 100 steps required in the creation of our lamps and each one is carried out meticulously in our Dublin studio. This same attention to detail is fundamental to everything we do.
Inspired by the mid-century design aesthetics of Japan and Denmark our lamps blend artistry with functionality. Each one of our pieces is made to elevate as well as illuminate a space.
We are committed to providing innovative design through traditional craftsmanship.
Illuminating memory
Of all the senses, we believe that scent is the most evocative. That is why we have developed each of our candles with a specific time and place in mind.
All of our candles are made using a blend of 100% organic soy and coconut wax. We work with the world’s leading perfumers to create all of our scents.
All of our candles are hand-poured in small batches in our studio in Dublin’s botanic district. This allows us to maintain the highest standards of quality for everything we produce.
