The idea for the PyroPet candles came to Thorunn when she was thinking about the way people use candles: "One day I saw the body of a Santa Claus shaped candle with his head melted away. I wondered if I could elevate this ritual sacrifice into a true theatre of the macabre in wax". She came up with the idea of embedding a metal skeleton within a cat shaped candle. Like real cats, Kisa the cat candle was mysterious, biding its time, waiting to surprise you.
