Interview about Liquid Fuel Candle, winner of the A' Furniture Design Award 2020

About the Project

In the modern days that the improper use of resources causes the threat of nature and humanity. Hence by designing and creating the products with more of works longevity as a substitute for similar products with the same efficiency that goes through time can help us.
By combining a different look at what the alcoholic lights were doing in the laboratories and a different view of the indestructible candles designers created a new product. Then they can produce the liquid fuel candles that are also stable and burn like a candle.

Your innovative approach to combining laboratory aesthetics with modern design in the Liquid Fuel Candle has earned recognition at the A' Design Award - could you share the journey of transforming traditional laboratory alcoholic lamps into a contemporary lighting solution?

Laboratory alcohol lamps were only for medical use and were used in laboratoriesBut the redesign of this product has made it have a wider range of useIn the new design of this product, we can use it as a lighting item

The Liquid Fuel Candle uniquely marries concrete and glass materials - what inspired this distinctive combination, and how does it reflect your vision of bridging traditional craftsmanship with modern architectural spaces?

The two special materials that we use in the design of our products are glass and concrete, which makes it possible to use them in many spaces due to the attractive appearance of these two materials together.

How did your research into market dynamics and consumer purchasing power influence the development of the Liquid Fuel Candle's accessible pricing strategy while maintaining its premium design aesthetic?

Market surveys showed that people are more interested in products that can be continuously charged than disposable products and candles, so we used a cheap and new fuel so that a wide range of society can use this product.

The Liquid Fuel Candle offers an innovative solution to the common problem of candle deformation and waste - could you elaborate on the technical challenges you faced in developing a perpetual flame system that maintains the authentic ambiance of traditional candles?

One of our challenges was to achieve the final formula for the fuel, a fuel that could be easily available and durable, and also not harm the environment.This fuel is the most important part of the product, without it the product would be meaningless and uselessThe only feature that allowed us to create a product that is reminiscent of the past and at the same time meets the needs of contemporary life is liquid fuelThis fuel is highly durable and very cheap and is convenient for public consumption

Your design philosophy for the Liquid Fuel Candle emphasizes sustainability through longevity - how does this approach align with your broader vision for responsible design in contemporary living spaces?

Our team tries to produce products that are long-lasting and cause less damage to the environment and its resources.Producing a candle that can reduce this damage and at the same time be as beautiful as its previous format was something we always thought aboutSo we worked hard to solve this issue and finally reached the final product

The Liquid Fuel Candle features a sophisticated refueling system - could you walk us through the engineering considerations that went into creating a user-friendly yet elegant solution for fuel replenishment?

In addition, the method of refueling this product is very easy. You remove the lid of the product, pour fuel into it, close the lid again and light the wick.The ease of refueling and also recharging the product with fuel was one of the things that we tried to do in the easiest way possible because this product is going to be in the hands of many people with different abilities, so it was necessary for everyone to be able to use it easily.

In developing the Liquid Fuel Candle for Roch collections, how did you balance the brand's commitment to concrete-based design with the need for transparency and light diffusion in a lighting product?

Our goal is to create durable containers for storing liquid fuelConcrete material creates this ability and the finished price is cheapAnd finally, the flames balance the apparent heaviness of the concrete

The Liquid Fuel Candle's flame quality is notably smoke-free and odorless - what process led you to select specific fuel types, and how did this influence the overall design of the burning mechanism?

There are many diseases caused by solid paraffin candlesAllergies, respiratory problems and types of sensitivityWe were looking for a formula that would not create any of these problems for the consumer, and finally we produced a fuel that is odorless, smokeless, and sick to the consumer.

Looking at the cultural context of traditional candle use in Iran and contemporary global design trends, how does the Liquid Fuel Candle bridge these different worlds while creating its own unique identity?

Candle with liquid fuel fulfills both the needs of today's societyIt offers you both a real flame and has the ability to chargeFlame from the old world and charging capability from the modern world

Given the success of the Liquid Fuel Candle and its recognition with an A' Design Award, how do you envision evolving this concept to address future lighting needs while maintaining its core principles of sustainability and timeless design?

Obviously, this award has made this product more visible and its high potentialThe use of liquid fuel is only a primary solution to prevent damage to natureCertainly, in future designs, this idea will be more complete and will be accompanied by better and more attractive methodsAll our efforts are to create products with a good sense of the past in contemporary life
