I am an industrial designer passionate about generating positive environmental and social impact through business and design.
Our natural world is full of beauty and delicate balance. Oom Biodegradable Candles provide a connection between two worlds, that of nature and our domestic environment. Burning an Oom Candle excites and ignites the human senses and provides a pathway that transcends and connects our holistic self with that of nature. The imperfect beauty of the candles’ individual form is styled to remind the user of the delicate imperfections of the natural world. Oom Candles do not have a negative environmental footprint. The product comes from nature and simply returns to nature. Made from mycelium, an emerging material derived from the vegetative root structure of mushroom and combined with beeswax, the candle is 100% biodegradable. Oom Candles are a natural source product containing zero toxins and residue. Using only locally sourced materials and scents, these candles are a tribute to the Australian environment and represents a quantum development in sustainable product innovation.
