Sing Kong Whee Candles

OUR HERITAGE

Founded in the 1950s, Sing Kong Whee has embarked on her journey of lighting up Singapore during its kampung days. Candles were essential and utmost important during those days, where electricity wasn’t much available. Started off as a necessity to the Muslim society during their prayer service, the Founder of the company thus created the brand, “Star & Moon” Candles - a logo very similar to the Muslim religious symbol.

The progression of Sing Kong Whee continues with the growth of Singapore. A family business built on traditional practices has honed the art of candle -making for the increasingly modernised clientele. We continue serving the ever-expanding hotel industry, event companies, as well as, spa and lifestyle services.

Passing on the Mantle

The evolution of our logo represents the past of Sing Kong Whee and symbolises our new beginning. Our new logo was rejuvenated with the vibrancy of modern art weaved with the everlasting elements - Star & Moon of Sing Kong Whee.

Candles have come a long way since their initial use. Although candles are no longer the main source of light, its popularity and use never cease. Today, candles symbolise celebration, mark romance, soothe the senses, define ceremony, and accent home decors — casting a lingering warm and lovely glow for all.

simplekindle. is a lifestyle brand created by 2 sisters who wants to bring a fresh twist to a tradition that started in the 1950s. As the lifestyle arm of our family’s candle business, founded by our grandparents, we saw the untapped potential in what candles could be. We hand-pour soy wax & beeswax scented candles and abstractly designed ones, with the intention of making home the best place to step into, from wherever we return.

That’s why we started simplekindle. From scented to abstract candles, each piece is crafted with joy and homeliness is kindled one at a time.
