Its cone-shaped design prevents melted wax from dripping onto surfaces, reducing mess and preserving cleanliness. This practical feature ensures the product remains functional while maintaining its visual appeal. The elegant design complements any setting, blending aesthetics and practicality for a seamless user experience.

Research

The design of “Enlighten the Universe” was inspired by the four elements water, air, earth, and fire engaged when a candle burns. Customer research revealed two key issues: wax dripping, which leaves a mess, and the loss of aesthetic appeal as candles deform over time. The design addresses both, offering a solution that maintains its beauty and functionality, even after repeated use. This ensures the product remains both a practical and decorative piece, embodying elegance and ease of use.

Inspiration

The design process began with a fundamental question: Why does lighting a candle create a sense of peace? The answer lies in the activation of the four elements—Water, Air, Earth, and Fire—as follows: Water: Melted wax Air: Rising smoke Earth: Solid wax Fire: The flame This project embodies this elemental harmony in both form and function. The triangular structure reflects Fire, reflective surfaces represent Water, and varying heights symbolize the changing nature of Air, creating a holistic sensory experience.
