Solic Incense Product

Solic began with one clear insight: busy office workers crave a moment of truly personal rest. Because many cannot switch off work thoughts even during a short break, the act of resting often feels like another task. To solve that, we built the product around automation that lets users enter a relaxed state with zero effort. One press ignites the incense, and a gentle ambient light immediately calms the mind. We balanced colour and form so the device blends harmoniously anywhere in a room and always looks reassuring. By leading people unconsciously into a natural flow of rest, Solic enables effortless breaks inside their daily routine, ultimately improving work-life balance and overall quality of life.

Our design began with a wish to give exhausted minds and bodies a brief sanctuary after work. We chose the sunset on the commute home as our symbol: it marks the close of a hard day and the journey back to comfort. In our interpretation, sunset also implies tomorrow’s sunrise—a seamless cycle of closure and renewal. That philosophy shaped every material and colour decision. Instead of merely copying sunset hues, we used warm twilight tones that convey comfort, ease and inner calm, embedding the emotions of ending and beginning directly into the product.

The greatest hurdle in creating an automatic electronic lighter was the lack of prior examples. We searched for technologies with similar ignition profiles and focused on Heat-Not-Burn tobacco devices. Their high-temperature heating columns mirrored the needs of an incense stick. We bought several units, dismantled them, mapped every part and circuit, and ran repeated tests on prototypes that applied the same principles. Through a cycle of cross-industry benchmarking, structural and material analysis, and hands-on prototyping, we arrived at a stable, reliable electronic ignition solution.
