This project reinterprets the candle by returning to its origin in oil lamps. A reusable aluminum body filled with oil replaces disposable wax, allowing the flame to exist independently from the material that holds it. Inspired by the Olympic cauldron, a symbol of an enduring flame, the design translates this logic into the familiar form of a taper candle. Sized to fit standard holders and designed for refilling, the object preserves traditional candle rituals while transforming them into a contemporary, durable lighting piece centered on continuity, reuse, and material permanence.
