Hope-Revealing Candles

The Amnesty International Freedom Candles Contain a Promises Within

— April 16, 2014 — Social Good
The Amnesty International Freedom Candles provide people with a unique perspective of the injustices against human rights this non-governmental organization focuses on on a daily basis. From imprisoned individuals to the prevalence of gun violence and child abuse, each candle is sculpted to represent one of these three terrible situations.

Yet just as the organization does itself, the Amnesty International Freedom Candles provides a glimmer of hope in a tangible way. First of all, the purchase of each 30 limited edition candles help support its efforts to make a difference in the world. Secondly, as the candles melt, they reveal a promising future of happy freedom.

The Amnesty International Freedom Candles were designed by Coarse, a design studio based in Los Angeles and Hong Kong.
Trend Themes
1. Human Rights Candles - Candles designed to bring awareness to human rights issues while also providing a message of hope could be expanded to other organizations and causes.
2. Promising Candles - Candles that reveal a message of hope as they melt could be used for other messaging, such as reminders of positive affirmations or encouraging messages during difficult times.
3. Candle Activism - Candles as a potential method for activism, with proceeds from their sale going towards charitable organizations and causes.
Industry Implications
1. Non-profit - Non-profit organizations can explore using creative products like candles to raise funds and bring awareness to social causes.
2. Design - Designers have an opportunity to create unique products with a meaningful message that can also generate revenue for their cause or organization.
3. Consumer Goods - Companies that sell candles and other home decor items could potentially collaborate with non-profit organizations to create products that give back to the community.
