It's kind of like a packet of Tim-Tams that never runs out, only waxier, and you probably shouldn't put it in your mouth.
Yep, this is bloody clever. UK-based designer Benjamin Shine has come up with the Rekindle – a candlestick holder that reforms into a brand new candle as the original one burns. Ingenious!
It works like this: as the flame melts the candle's wax, it collects in a mould below, which handily has a wick all ready and waiting. When the mould fills up, the natty new candle can be removed, and ta-da! The process begins again. It's kind of like a packet of Tim-Tams that never runs out, only waxier, and you probably shouldn't put it in your mouth.
At the moment this is just a prototype, but it's been getting so much love around the world that there's a high chance we could find it on the shelves real soon. In the meantime, keep your digits crossed and hop over to Benjamin's website to see more of his brilliance.
