013 - THE SCENTED CANDLE Scented Candle
013 - THE SCENTED CANDLE Scented Candle is an innovative packaging design project that exemplifies sustainable and locally-sourced production practices in contemporary home fragrance products. This meticulously crafted scented candle represents a significant departure from conventional candle design through its distinctive use of German-manufactured Weißblech (tinplate) packaging, which serves both as the primary container and post-use functional object. The design demonstrates exceptional attention to material sourcing and environmental consciousness, utilizing 100% raps wachs (rapeseed wax) blended with natural oils, and featuring a specially designed tin opener attached to a white leather cord that transforms the unboxing into an experiential ritual. Available in three natural fragrances - rosemary, mountain pine, and lemongrass - the product embodies a minimalist aesthetic philosophy while maintaining high functionality. The design, which earned recognition with an Iron A' Design Award in the Packaging Design category, showcases remarkable innovation through its comprehensive approach to sustainability, from locally-sourced materials to its post-use transformation capabilities as a pen holder or similar utility item. The project's five-month development process, culminating in an initial production run of 150 units in Berlin, demonstrates the feasibility of maintaining high design standards while adhering to strict local production principles, setting a new benchmark in sustainable luxury packaging design.
