why are designers making these really weird objects while there should be more pleasure in thinking what design could become.

there is somuch peer prodcuction coming up, selfmaking for the customers that designers should think about others layers then the fysicality of making new stuff.

please move on from the candles into new things , i think many designers can make another 10 related shapes to this candle, but i lost seeing the fun of that.

when becomes design Radical again ??

Helen-LG, i think Lazar’s point is a good one: that you can’t leave this candle to burn indefinitely without keeping a close eye on it or it will burn down to the curved part and may set fire to whatever surface it is resting on. of course all candles are potentially unsafe but this one seems partiicularly so.

Gorgeous, really really lovely!

Lazar – assuming I’ve understood your question correctly – no, I don’t think it’s ever considered safe to fall asleep with a candle burning.

I did’t see, or there is no way to feel a sleep when you light this candle in your room
