Gentle Giants Studio has designed a collection of candles intended to raise awareness of the effects of global warming. The collection of candles, created for BOZU Italian Design Workshop, is named Bergy Bit, which is the scientific term for a small iceberg “bit” that has broken free from a larger iceberg.

“Bergy Bit is intended to represent the effects of global warming, melting the worlds icebergs slowly away as the candle burns and time passes. This product is designed to make people aware of the effects of environmental changes. This unique iceberg candle is available in two sizes and three different scents to give your home an exclusive design accent.” – Gentle Giants Studio
