At Flicker & Found, we believe beauty doesn’t fade—it simply waits to be rediscovered.

Working from our home studio in Detroit, Michigan, we’re a couple of artists reimagining forgotten vintage treasures into radiant, one-of-a-kind pieces. Inspired by Detroit’s gritty elegance, its resilience, and its cultural Renaissance, we handcraft candles and lighting from salvaged glass and antique fixtures, giving each piece new light—and a new life.

♻️ Rescued. Rewired. Reborn.

We source vintage glassware, crystal, apothecary jars, compotes, dishes, and heirloom lighting from flea markets, estate sales, and salvage shops. Each piece is chosen for its history, charm, and potential.

Then we get to work—hand-pouring candles into rescued vessels using our signature coconut-soy wax blend and zinc-core wicks, or carefully rebuilding and rewiring lighting fixtures using modern hardware and old-world vision.

The result? Functional, sustainable art. Designed to glow for years to come.

🏙️ Made in Detroit, with Soul

Detroit’s legacy is in everything we create—its architectural drama, its layered textures, its fusion of old-world grit and contemporary creativity. Just like the city, our work is unpolished in the best way—bold, intentional, and enduring.

Each piece is an ode to rebirth, to reuse, and to the quiet power of something made by hand.

🖌️ Custom Work & Creative Collaborations

Looking for something unforgettable?

We love working with clients to create:

• Avant-garde statement lighting
• Custom candle vessels or scent
• Design elements for interiors, photoshoots, or stage productions

From heirloom reworks to full concept-to-installation commissions, we bring a trained artist’s eye and craftsman’s precision to every collaboration. Whether you're staging a space, developing a signature ambiance, or just need something no one else has, we’d be honored to bring your vision to life.

We’re happy to accommodate specific materials, wax blends, or fragrance sensitivities—just ask. We thrive on creative requests.

🔥 Light, Designed to Last

Our candles are refillable. Our lighting is rewired to modern standards. Our materials are rescued with purpose.

And no two pieces are ever exactly alike.

When you bring a Flicker & Found piece into your home, you're not just decorating—you're investing in a story. One that honors the past, lives fully in the present, and shines far into the future.
