Meet the Founder

​

At Lavela, we’re proud to introduce Arushi Harmilapi, the creative force and heart behind our brand. Lavela was born from a personal moment — while planning her own event, Arushi was searching for the perfect candlelight ambience. Her brother warned her that traditional candle could damage the vases once it melted, but Arushi’s vision for a glowing, elegant setting couldn’t be dimmed.

That moment sparked a journey.

​

Determined to redefine how candles are used, Arushi set out to create a new kind of candle experience — one that wouldn’t spoil vessels or leave messy residue. Her dedication led to the creation of Lavela’s signature plant-based, mess-free candle sand that self-extinguishes and offers a safe, beautiful glow.

What began as a personal challenge became a passion to inspire tranquility, connection, and beauty in everyday life. Arushi combines artistry with purpose, ensuring each Lavela product embodies elegance, sustainability, and exceptional quality.

​

Today, she’s on a mission to bring this innovation to every home — so that more people can enjoy the magic of candlelight, without compromise.
