The Bloom Candle explores the relationship between flowers and the sun––when they open up towards the sun, they are in fact, “melting” open.

The goal in creating the Bloom Candle was to reimagine the candle as something natural, that used a natural process of sun/heat to create a visible effect of melting.

The candle is constructed with a concrete base and 9 removable candles. The box comes flat packed, and the user is able to assemble the candles in any arrangement they wish.

The Bloom Candle will have a limited edition of 100 units. Once it is sold out, there will not be any more made. The Bloom Candle is the fourth project of a year-long series of storytelling products set to be released sequentially every few weeks by Nik Bentel. The price is $69.
