Interactive Poetry Candles

Spoken Flames' Candles are Matched with Spoken Word Performances

— November 2, 2020 — Art & Design
Spoken Flames is a new female-founded candle company based in Brooklyn offering handcrafted candles that come with an interactive element that's meant to inspire and empower consumers through immersive spoken word poetry performances.

When they receive their candles, consumers can activate the messages that are featured on the lids, which will lead them to an Instagram filter that will allow them to choose their candle type. Once they scan their code, consumers will be able to listen to one of the spoken word performances that match their candle's message. Each candle is made with an all-natural coconut wax blend, a soft-cracking wooden wick, and is phthalate and petroleum-free. With 55 hours of clean burn time, the specially curated scent notes can be enjoyed for weeks.
