Pier 46 was founded in 2023 and it is a small batch candle studio based in the Heights of Houston in Texas.

For over a century, the Greenwich Village waterfront along the Hudson River, including the Pier 46, has been a destination for the LGBT community that has evolved to an important safe haven for a marginalized queer community – mostly queer homeless youth of color.

Between 1971 and 1983 the interiors of the piers’ ruin-like terminals featured a diverse range of artistic work, including site-based installations, photography, murals, and performances.

Reminiscent of the ruin-like terminals, our candles are hand-poured in small batches using only quality ingredients so they are made with 100% bees wax and scented with carefully selected and blended fragrance oil.

Our mission is to transform the inside of your home through the diverse artistic range of scent.
