About No. 27 Flësseg-Brennstoff-Käerz

No. 27 ass eng skulptural Käerz, déi fir eng stëmmungsvoll Beliichtung a modernen Interieuren entworf gouf. De gewellte Sockel ass aus konstruéiertem Bëton gegoss a kritt seng Form vun engem Vulkan. Transparent hëtzebestänneg Glasréier a verschiddenen Héichte sinn an de Bëtonssockel agesat an déngen als nofëllbar Reservoire fir flëssege Brennstoff. Metall gëtt nëmme fir d'Dochthaltere benotzt, déi den Hëtzentransfer limitéieren a sécher, kontinuéierlech Flame garantéieren. Dat nofëllbaart Brennstoffsystem eliminéiert Wachsoffall. D'Stéck moosst 56 cm an der Längt, 32 cm an der Breet an 31 cm an der Héicht.

Unique Properties: This design features a modified concrete base paired with transparent glass reservoirs. Utilizing a refillable liquid fuel system, it eliminates wax waste and provides an everlasting, clean flame. The varying heights of the glass tubes create a dynamic, sculptural lighting landscape. By contrasting raw concrete with delicate glass, it offers a sustainable, mess-free, and elegant ambient lighting experience perfectly suited for modern interiors.
Dimensions & Packaging: L: 56cm

Production Technology: Production relies on combining modified concrete, heat-resistant glass, and minimal metal. The undulating volcanic base is cast from engineered concrete, providing thermal resistance and solid stability. Transparent glass tubes function as liquid fuel reservoirs, seamlessly integrated into the base. Metal is exclusively used for the wick holders, ensuring safe, continuous flames while preventing excessive heat transfer.
Design Challenge: The core challenge was harmonizing the brutalist weight of a concrete caldera with the fragile verticality of glass tubes. Technically, engineering thermal safety was paramount. We had to ensure continuous liquid-fuel flames wouldn't crack the glass or overheat the concrete base. By isolating the heat using minimal metal wick holders, we successfully resolved thermal transfer issues, merging permanent geological sculpture with dynamic, safe fire in a zero-waste system.
Research: Research focused on the environmental and functional flaws of traditional solid paraffin candles, which deform and generate waste. We investigated sustainable alternatives maintaining structural integrity while providing authentic illumination. Studies in material contrasting—specifically engineered concrete's thermal resistance against glass—led to a refillable liquid fuel system. The result merges brutalist geology with eco-conscious lighting, eliminating wax waste entirely.
Inspiration: Inspired by the majestic form and raw energy of a volcano, this design translates geological power into a domestic artifact. The undulating concrete base mimics a dormant caldera, grounding the piece in brutalist stability. Emerging from this crust, transparent glass tubes act as volcanic vents, channeling fuel to culminate in living flames. It captures the exact moment of eruption—where cold, permanent stone conceptually meets the dynamic, ethereal energy of fire.
Project Duration: The project designed in December 2025 in Isfahan.
Operation Flow: Interaction begins as a mindful ritual. The user manually fills the transparent glass tubes with liquid fuel and ignites the wicks. This tactile process awakens the dormant concrete caldera, transforming it into an active, glowing landscape. The varying heights of the tubes guide the eye upward, mimicking a volcanic eruption of light. Users experience a clean, continuous, and dynamic ambient glow, fostering a deep connection between human, raw matter, and living fire.
