Meet the Founder

From South American Horizons to Midwest Craftsmanship: 

The Story of Sara"I am a naturally restless, active, and passionate soul. I thrive in creation, I embrace working under pressure, and it is in the absolute dedication to my crafts where I feel most alive." — Sara, Founder of LÚMINA

My journey with this art began in 2020 during the global lockdown. In the quiet of those days, I started experimenting with concrete formulation in my home country, exploring a completely new world with deep curiosity and passion. Eventually, life called me to focus entirely on my other great passion: travel. Through my company, PEVITOURS, I have spent years curating and organizing unique, life-changing travel experiences throughout South America.

Our American story officially began when we moved to Miami, where I initially set up the foundations of this creative path. However, as a proud family on the move due to my husband's corporate relocations across different states, our studio has found its new home. Today, in 2026, I create and pour each piece from the beautiful, welcoming city of Columbia, Missouri. After diving deep into the technical chemistry of concrete mixing and mastering the delicate art of luxury candle-making—through countless trials, errors, and breakthroughs—I finally reached the perfect equilibrium: unique pieces that masterfully combine texture, aroma, and soul.

The Aesthetic: Bold, Modern, Minimalist

Every LÚMINA creation reflects a contemporary, minimalist philosophy. Featuring clean architectural lines and a timeless aesthetic, our pieces are designed to bring elegance and deep serenity to any contemporary space. These are items with true character, crafted to complement the beauty of simplicity and highlight the perfect harmony between form and function.

A Family-Backed Vision

This studio is a labor of love, and I am profoundly grateful to my husband, my children, and my daughters-in-law for constantly motivating me to pursue this second grand source of inspiration as we build our home in every new destination.

Today, I am proud to unite my two worlds—the expansive beauty of travel and the grounding touch of art—to share with you unique home essentials made with love, intent, and purpose. I truly hope you enjoy having these pieces in your sanctuary as much as I enjoy creating them for you.

Our Philosophy 

We don’t just make candles; we design sensory experiences. Every piece in our collection is born from a desire to solve design challenges with exclusive, one-of-a-kind products that elevate your interior spaces. We obsess over the finest details to ensure that what enters your home is nothing short of exceptional.

Grounded Luxury Sustainable Craft

True luxury shouldn't compromise the planet. That is why we are committed to an uncompromisingly clean, eco-friendly process:

  • 100% Organic Soy Wax: A sustainable, clean-burning base free from toxins and paraffin.
  • Artisanal Concrete Vessels: Individually mixed, poured, and cured by hand. Because each geometric bowl features its own natural textures, no two vessels are ever exactly alike.
  • Curated Wicks: We feature premium cotton and crackling wooden wicks that provide a soothing, fireplace-like auditory experience.
  • High-End Fragrances: Our sophisticated scents are inspired by world-class, iconic perfumery and luxury boutique hotels, transforming the mood of any room instantly.

The Lumina Promise 

Behind LÚMINA is a dedicated team of real artisans who put their heart into everything they shape. Your satisfaction and peace of mind are our absolute priorities. When your candle eventually finishes its clean burn, our signature concrete vessels are designed to be upcycled—living forever in your home as minimalist planters, jewelry dishes, or styling statement pieces.

Thank you for bringing our light into your sanctuary.
