The "Life" candle by Mohammad Meyzari is not just a source of light; it is a tribute to the enduring spirit of creation symbolized by the female form. Meyzari's design draws from the anatomy of a woman, positing her as the bedrock of creativity and nurturing. The flame, perched atop this elegant structure, represents knowledge, intelligence, and capability—qualities that are instrumental in shaping a compassionate and competent future generation.
Distinct from conventional candles, "Life" boasts a never-ending wick, thanks to its innovative use of liquid fuel. This feature not only ensures a continuous flame but also offers the practicality of being rechargeable. The use of affordable fuel and lightweight materials like glass and concrete enhances the product's appeal, making it both cost-effective and aesthetically versatile. The design promises a long burn time with a clean, odorless flame, courtesy of high-quality fuels.
The production process of "Life" is as refined as its appearance. The initial design is crafted using a CNC machine, followed by silicone molding to shape the final product in reformed concrete. This blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology results in a candle that is both robust and delicate, a fitting addition to any contemporary space.
With dimensions tailored to modern sensibilities, the "Life" candle stands tall at a height of 55/60/65 cm and a diameter of 8.5 cm. Its design is a harmonious blend of concrete and glass, materials chosen for their neutrality and ability to complement a wide range of interior designs. "Life" is not just a functional object but a statement piece that interacts with its environment, enhancing the ambiance of modern living spaces.
Conceived in December 2023 in Isfahan, the "Life" project is the culmination of extensive market research. Meyzari's team sought to understand consumer behavior and demand for affordable yet stylish home accessories. The result is a candle that transcends the ordinary, offering longevity and beauty without the drawbacks of traditional candles—warping and extinguishing.
Recognized for its design excellence, "Life" has been awarded the Iron in A' Decorative Items and Homeware Design Award in 2024. This accolade is a nod to the candle's practicality, innovation, and its embodiment of industry best practices. "Life" is not just a candle; it is a beacon of modern design, illuminating the path to a more sustainable and aesthetically pleasing future.
