In the EU, an average of two kilograms of candles per person are burned each year, while around 15 kilograms of cooking oil are used on average, much of which is discarded after cooking.

»[Un]shine« makes use of this waste and offers an alternative to fossil-based paraffin candles. The candle is designed to bring a subtle, warm light into any space. Even without a burning flame, it remains an elegant object and encourages a shift in thinking toward more sustainable lighting solutions.
