About No. 27 Shumac Shidaal Dareere ah
No. 27 waa shumac farshaxan ah oo loo abuuray iftiin deggan oo ku habboon gudaha guryaha casriga ah. Saldhigga mowjadaha leh waxaa laga shubay shub la hindisay oo qaabkiisa laga soo qaatay fulkaano. Tuubooyin quraarad ah oo hufan oo u adkaysta kulaylka oo dherer kala duwan leh ayaa lagu dhex dhejiyay saldhigga shubka ah, waxayna u adeegaan sidii keydad shidaal dareere ah oo dib loo buuxin karo. Bir waxaa loo isticmaalay oo keliya haysta fiitilada, kuwaas oo xaddidaya gudbinta kulaylka oo taageeraya olol ammaan ah oo joogto ah. Nidaamka shidaalka ee dib loo buuxin karo wuxuu meesha ka saarayaa qashinka shamaca (wax). Alaabtu waxay dhererkeedu yahay 56 cm, ballaceedu 32 cm, sarajooggeeduna 31 cm.

Press Kit
- 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.

- 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.
