Even as Presley Oldham carried a heavy 40-pound bag of moss onto the set for his debut home collection photoshoot, he was excited to unveil the latest chapter of his creative journey. Known for his jewelry that blends craftsmanship, whimsy, and a focus on personal and sustainable materials—like glass, gemstones, pearls, and fabric flowers made by his grandmother—Oldham is now introducing a candle in a colorful blown glass jar (which he suggests repurposing as a cup after use), three circular glass nesting trays, and a silver paperweight inspired by a worry stone.
Like his jewelry, these home items—available only in person at ABC Home—feel unique and personal, with an emphasis on local production. Oldham and his partner reside in the picturesque town of Hudson, NY, where the candle jars are made just 20 minutes away in one direction, and the dishes are crafted 20 minutes in another. “It felt like the right time to expand the world of Presley Oldham,” he shared during a recent afternoon in New York City, where he was working for a few days. “After the brand’s growth this past year, including involvement with the CFDA and the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, I took time to reflect on shaping my story and exploring new areas of design.”
The collection began with the Sprout candle, infused with a blend of oud, cedar, cypress, vetiver, and clary sage essential oils. (Oldham burns oud and cedarwood incense at home, and the Sprout scent will also be available as incense.) But the true starting point was the glass container itself; the same artisans who blow glass for his candle jars also create some of his beads, linking his home goods and jewelry. “Both have a ritualistic quality; they bring comfort to people. And yes, I had to learn how to make candles,” he added with a laugh. “But everything I do is rooted in my memories and emotions.”
The fragrance, developed with his friend Benjamin Lewellyn who lives nearby upstate, was designed to be soothing and grounding. “It reminds me of New Mexico, summers with my grandparents in the mountains, the dry earth, and passing rainstorms. Those are deep feelings, so how do I translate them into scent? Cedarwood adds a woody note, oud brings an umami richness, and Ben suggested clary sage for its minty, less herbal touch.”
This emotional inspiration continually influences Oldham’s work, making even something as common as a scented candle feel fresh and meaningful. To capture past memories in scent, he began with a word association poem to spark creativity. After analyzing the text, he and Lewellyn tested hundreds of oils to finalize the blend.
The glass trays, on the other hand, stem from the various containers and holders scattered around his jewelry workspace. They can display his new rings, but Oldham notes they’re also “for burning sage or even serving food, if you like.” What ties all his new pieces together, he says, is “how I’ve combined functionality and beauty. To me, that’s the purest expression of my work as a designer.”
