Seeing countless eggshells being discarded in food production, Hong Kong-based KaCaMa Design Lab found an opportunity to create a simple yet fun candle.

The eggshells are collected from a local bakery, washed and cleaned; a small hole is then made in the shell and heating wax poured inside. Its special shape allows it to float on water.
