Welcome to AKUN Home, where every candle is a symbol of love, resilience, and transformation.

Founded in 2020, AKUN Home emerged during a period of global uncertainty, driven by a shared desire to create comfort and a sense of belonging in our homes. As the world faced unprecedented challenges, our mission was to design products that would transform spaces into comforting retreats, tailored to modern lifestyles.

Our Founders: Amera and Ahmed

The heart and soul of AKUN Home come from Amera and Ahmed (+ Mama Lulu), whose Middle Eastern heritage and diverse backgrounds bring a unique cultural and artistic perspective to our creations. Ahmed’s vision for interior design combines artistry with functionality, while recent personal experiences have profoundly shaped Amera’s journey.

Amera’s Influence & Journey

Amera’s extensive travels have inspired her to create candles that capture the essence of home. To her, home is a collection of meaningful experiences and cherished items. Her focus is on crafting candles that offer physical comfort while upholding our values of sustainability and adaptability.

In late 2023, Amera faced a profound personal challenge when her mother, Lulu, was diagnosed with stage 3 Alzheimer’s. This diagnosis prompted Amera to leave her job and dedicate herself to full-time caregaver for her mother. To provide Mama Lulu with both engagement and comfort, Amera introduced her to the art of candle making.

What began as a therapeutic activity quickly became a cherished ritual. From scent selection to pouring, packaging, and even making deliveries, Mama Lulu became an integral part of AKUN Home’s daily operations. This hands-on involvement enriched Mama Lulu’s days strengthened the bond between mother and daughter, weaving their personal story into every candle we create.

Ahmed’s Vision

Ahmed’s deep appreciation for interior design drives our commitment to transforming homes into sanctuaries of beauty and tranquility. His vision for AKUN Home is to merge artistry with functionality, offering a curated selection of candles that, not only illuminate, but also enrich living spaces adaptability.
