A Stockholm studio selling handmade encaustic paints made from artist pigments, beeswax, and damar resin.

Why it surfaced

Holst & Bane organizes its colours into collections such as The North, The Vivids, The Earths, and the Happy Sailor range. Its central promise—“Colour bound in wax, set free by fire”—gives this small artist-materials shop a clear craft identity and a memorable physical process.

Lunch Through the Bee Veil

August 11’s newborn domains include a bee veil with a lockable lunch flap, a book designed to unfold over ten years, a Colombian missing-person and aid board, and a brick studio made by a dad and his 10-year-old co-founder.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-11 Domain Arrivals issue.
