The Design
About Feel Ordinary Life Candelae Odoratae
Sentire Vitam Cotidianam est ordo candelarum odoratarum ad formam zingiberis, allii et cepae Hollandicae effictarum, quae tria sunt communia ingredientia coquinae Sinensis. Candelae manu factae sunt et in formas naturales cuiusque plantae fusae. Quaeque candela proprium mixtum oleorum essentialium continet. Candela zingiberis notas florales et fructuosas fert, dum candela cepae Hollandicae notas lignosas et florales fert. Formae inaequales efficiunt ut quaeque candela, cera liquescente, diverso modo ardeat. Consilium formas culinae familiares cum experientia odoris subtili coniungit.

- Production Technology
- The handmade candles are meticulously crafted to replicate the exact shape of ginger, garlic, and scallions. Each candle is infused with a unique blend of essential oils, carefully curated to capture the essence of these culinary staples. The ginger candle features top notes of aldehydes, pear, and lily-of-the-valley, middle notes of iris, rose, and orange, and base notes of musk, patchouli, and abelmoschus. The garlic candle opens with a fresh blend of coriander, lavender, and white pine, followed by a spicy heart of nutmeg, pepper, and hemlock, and a woody base of iris, musk, and cedarwood. The scallion candle begins with citrusy top notes of bergamot, cardamom, and vetiver, transitioning to a heart of sandalwood, cypress, and abelmoschus, and finishing with a soft base of white musk, violet, and patchouli.
- Design Challenge
- The mold-making process is very difficult, requiring absolute precision to ensure a natural, vivid, and lifelike reproduction of the plant's form
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the everyday habits of Chinese people, this product offers a surprising twist on the familiar. By transforming the pungent ingredients of ginger, garlic, and scallions into elegant candles, we create a stark contrast between the expected and the unexpected. This unexpected juxtaposition of form and function is designed to spark curiosity and delight.
- Project Duration
- This limited-edition gift is exclusively available at Tsutaya Books, OoEli, Hangzhou from April 2023 to April 2024.
- Operation Flow
- Due to the asymmetrical shapes of the ginger, garlic, and scallion, each candle burns uniquely, constantly evolving as the wax melts. Every lighting is a surprising work of art.
