About Zagros Candles

The ability to recharge and use cheap fuel to charge the product, longer burning time and flame without smoke and odor due to the use of quality fuels are among the other advantages of this plan. The source of design inspiration for this product was the Zagros Mountains in Iran.

Grand Interview
Your innovative approach to repurposing discarded gas capsules in Zagros Candles addresses a critical environmental concern - could you elaborate on how this sustainability concept evolved from initial idea to final design?
Our concern in the design of this product was the use of recycled materials, after designing the lid of the product, which was taken from the Zagros mountains in Iran, we decided to use a cylindrical form for the fuel tank, and we saw this form in gas capsules. These gas capsules are used in large numbers in the market and their empty format is thrown away
The striking silhouette of Zagros Candles draws inspiration from Iran's majestic Zagros Mountains - how did you translate these natural topographical elements into a functional design that maintains its sculptural beauty even when unlit?
With a lot of investigations, we were able to determine a part of the topography of the place that has the potential to place the flames, in addition to the format of its visual beauty, so that it can remain beautiful when the flame is off.
Your choice of concrete-like powder combined with gas capsules in Zagros Candles creates an intriguing material contrast - what led you to select these specific materials, and how do they enhance both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the design?
The use of artificial stone material or pseudo-concrete represents the Zagros mountain range, so artificial stone material was used to evoke the same mountain.

- Inspiration
- The source of design inspiration for this product was the Zagros Mountains in Iran. Due to the special importance of this mountain range in creating four seasons in the geographical location of Iran and respect for the environment, the main design idea was put on the topography of this mountain range. Mountains are a symbol of the connection between heaven and earth and the origin of the life-giving sun's heat. So we placed the flames between these lines to be a symbol of it.
