- Design Challenge
- The purpose of producing this product was to present and introduce a kind of candle in the form of modern spaces.

- Research
- Extensive research on the current human lifestyle and needs in the environment, as well as the excessive use of fuel and resources on the planet led us to design products inspired by nature and modern appearance. To be both a narrator of a story of human excellence and an adaptation to current living conditions (environmental protection).
- Inspiration
- The source of design inspiration for this product was the Zagros Mountains in Iran. Due to the special importance of this mountain range in creating four seasons in the geographical location of Iran and respect for the environment, the main design idea was put on the topography of this mountain range. Mountains are a symbol of the connection between heaven and earth and the origin of the life-giving sun's heat. So we placed the flames between these lines to be a symbol of it.

G0E26 ShopGrand Interview about Zagros Candles
Our concern in the design of this product was the use of recycled materials, after designing the lid of the product, which was taken from the Zagros mountains in Iran, we decided to use a cylindrical form for the fuel tank, and we saw this form in gas capsules. These gas capsules are used in large numbers in the market and their empty format is thrown away
With a lot of investigations, we were able to determine a part of the topography of the place that has the potential to place the flames, in addition to the format of its visual beauty, so that it can remain beautiful when the flame is off.
The use of artificial stone material or pseudo-concrete represents the Zagros mountain range, so artificial stone material was used to evoke the same mountain.
According to the proportions of contemporary life, it was necessary to design the product in a way that is in harmony with these proportionsLife in today's age must be fast and accurate, so using old candles that need constant maintenance and cleaning is not a good option, that's why we used a fuel with a new formula that doesn't need maintenance and cleaning, and at the same time Do not harm the environment
Zagros is not only a modern candle but also a decorative itemWe thought about the times when this product might be off, so it should have a different and attractive appearance. That's why we considered the product in two states, on and off, and tried to design it
This achievement definitely encouraged us to pay more attention to these features in new designs.Preventing damage to the environment and the living environment is one of our main goals, and we will always strive to minimize this damage by finding solutions that are suitable for modern life.Certainly, being seen and winning this competition has added to our motivation to make more efforts in the future.
Lighting a fire in Iranian culture is an ancient symbol, which is more colorful in the Zagros mountains and the tribes where they live.We were inspired to respect this culture
As I said before, contemporary life needs more precise proportionsA product can play a role in the current life that solves these worries and concernsZagros is a product that fulfills these needs
Finding an accurate and durable formula for the fuel was the main challenge, which we were able to achieve after conducting numerous experiments.This fuel had to be in accordance with contemporary living conditionsAmong the characteristics of this fuel are its non-smokeability, non-allergy to the consumer, and durabilityThese characteristics were achieved through numerous experiments
Zagros is a new idea for modern candles. This idea can spread quickly and gain a large market share. In contemporary life, we see little time and many activities that can no longer be faced with these issues with past technology. So our product can meet the needs of contemporary man and at the same time be as beautiful as the past.
