The conceptual 'Chouchin' candle is a clever home decor piece that transforms during use to offer a second functionality once it has been used. Looking and working like a traditional candle, the 'Chouchin' will burn down until the flame is hidden on the interior section of the container to created the aesthetic of a traditional Japanese lantern. This creates an inviting look that is warm, clever and that can even be used after the wax has all been used to make it as functional as possible in your home or work space.
The conceptual 'Chouchin' candle is the design work of James Kaoru Bury and offers a stylistic way to connect with Japanese culture by infusing an element into your space.
