MODERN CANDLE LANTERN | Bringing the relaxing properties of eco-Soy candles to a younger audience by creating a safe, convenient and modern alternative to candles
CANDELA aims to encourage a younger, broader audience to use candles by providing push button lighting and extinguishing, a safe enclosed flame and a retro modern aesthetic
Pressing the on button (left) ignites a piezo lighter and lights the candle. Pressing the off button (right) rotates the snuffer to extinguish the flame
Replacing the candle is mess free. Once burnt out, the top of the lamp screws off, a flap covering the candle lifted and the candle in its sheath is unscrewed and lifted out
Having worked out the mechanics, ancient candle and oil lanterns were the aesthetic inspiration. These Photoshop visuals were produced for the final concept selection stage
Candle products are a growing billion dollar industry dominated almost entirely by women. The idea was to create a candle based device aimed at a younger, broader audience
