Our Story
Welcome to AKUN Home, where every candle is more than just a source of light—it’s a reflection of identity, culture, and the essence of home.
Founded with a passion for meaningful living, AKUN, meaning “to be” in Arabic, represents presence, authenticity, and the beauty of embracing life’s moments. What started as a simple ritual has evolved into a brand dedicated to creating handcrafted candles that carry the spirit of Arabian heritage while speaking to modern lifestyles.
The Heart Behind AKUN
At the core of AKUN Home is Amera, whose journey has been shaped by personal resilience, cultural roots, and a deep connection to family. Inspired by her travels and Middle Eastern heritage, Amera discovered that home isn’t just a place—it’s a feeling, woven from memories, scents, and moments of reflection.
In 2023, Amera’s life took a transformative turn when her beloved mother, Mama Lulu, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. What began as a therapeutic candle-making activity soon became a shared passion, bringing light and purpose into their daily lives. From selecting scents to pouring candles, Mama Lulu’s hands-on involvement became the heart of AKUN, infusing every creation with warmth, love, and an authentic story.
Crafting with Purpose
Every AKUN candle is thoughtfully designed—not just to fragrance a room but to evoke emotion, spark connection, and transform spaces into sanctuaries. Our collections, like the evocative Scents of Arabia, the soulful Essence of Life, and the celestial Noor Al Qamar, are more than products; they are stories captured in wax and flame.
Sustainability at Our Core
Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond eco-friendly materials. It’s about crafting with intention, minimizing waste, and creating products that can be cherished long after the last flicker of flame. Our reusable Qahwa cups and refill options reflect our dedication to mindful living and environmental responsibility.
AKUN Today
AKUN Home is more than a brand—it’s a tribute to resilience, family, and the beauty of life’s simple rituals. Each candle is a reminder to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most.
When you choose AKUN, you’re not just bringing home a candle—you’re becoming part of a story rooted in love, heritage, and the art of being.
