The Egloo introduces a way to heat your room economically by using candles like never before! The domed system transforms ordinary candles into a serious source of warmth by utilizing the heat-storing qualities of terra cotta. The internal candles heat from within and warm the dome continuously for up to 5 hours. The earthenware material will continue to radiate heat even after the candles have blown out!

Clean, clever, cost-effective. An absolute champion of a design.
Massive thumbs up to the designer. Very impressed!
where can i buy this?
this is a really different concept. i really like the idea of using a candle for warmth. could we also use the light of the candle? or only the heat? it is still a really clever idea. also showcases the properties of terracotta. love it!
Oh my god!!!
Free meals ? Go to the moon for 1$, with rubber bands !!!! …
Science anyone ?
latouffe, don’t be a troll. this design has been doing the rounds on the internet and i personally think it’s a massively clever idea.
😀
SWEET! But tell me, does it heat up to the extent that I might burn my hand if i touch it?
maybe. i also believe that terracotta will start blackening after too much exposure to the candle flame.
Perfect for the horrible weather I’m currently being exposed to… 😉
thank you great article
expected this to be on more artsy sites like designtaxi or something. this doesn’t fit the yanko experience.
Hey! Because it is somewhere else on the internet, this should be a good idea ?
This is massively clever ? This Einstein just burn a tea candle to get some heat ! Is that “massively clever” ?
I am afraid we don’t live on the same planet …
here’s a bit of science:
your candles will give off exactly the same amount of heat with or without that beautiful terra-cotta tealight. a bit less light though
