These hip candles visually remind home owners about the detrimental effects of global warming. The iceberg collection is fittingly titled the Bergy Bits after the tiny particles of ice that break off of larger mounds. The collection comes with [two varying iceberg candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-candle-collection) available in either green bamboo, mandarin or bergamot scents. The candles are designed to look just like massive glacial ice mounds with a [modular triangle design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-soft-solids). When the consumer goes to burn the candle, it'll begin to melt away just like the icebergs are set to do in the near future thanks to global warming. The candles are sure to remind consumers directly in their homes that global warming is without a doubt on the rise. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Global Warming Reminders:** The use of creative decor items that remind consumers about global warming and the importance of fighting it. - **Modular Candle Designs:** The use of modular designs in candles for a unique and customizable visual experience for consumers. - **Eco-friendly Scented Candles:** The use of eco-friendly materials and organic scents in candles for an environmentally conscious consumer base. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include incorporating environmental awareness into creative decor items. - **Candle Making:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include incorporating modular designs and eco-friendly materials into candle making. - **Sustainability:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include exploring new ways to remind consumers of the importance of sustainability and environmental consciousness in their everyday lives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Beeswax Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greentree.md) - [Unusual Limited-Edition Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bloom-candle.md) - [Luxurious Sculptural Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-candle-holders.md) - [Artful Heated Candle Warmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infra-luna.md) - [Luxe Candle-Melting Lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infra-luna-20.md) - [Architecturally Inspired Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sfumato-candle.md) - [Sculpted Holiday Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastel-palette.md) - [Plant-Based Wax Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-solids-1.md) - [Uniquely Shaped Pastel Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goober-candle.md)
