wick envy


I have just seen the coolest candle ever made. (Thank you Designers' Block for the great find!) In this unique candle, Van Boemmel Studio has embedded their wicks in hexagon-like patterns throughout the wax, where one flame lights another until the whole candle has disappeared -- kind of like a smooth relay race. It's mesmerizing to watch the flames run through the maze of twists and turns. (Check out the way it burns by clicking here. The music is quite hypnotic too, I must warn.) I'm not sure how much it costs (prices are a little vague on the site) but it looks like would fall on the expensive side. It's perfect for the person with money to burn (natch!)!
