Add some romance to your life by setting fire to your car

Iconic 4X4s, moulded in wax, to make the ultimate automotive candle

Candles have been too round for too long, right?

The designers at Los Angeles-based creative firm Cölle think so, which is why they have created a pair of paraffin wax candles modelled on the Land Rover Defender and Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon.

The candles, available both ‘naked’ and painted (currently sold out) are formed in a mould created from a hand-carved clay model.

When painted, the Defender is a stylish two-tone teal with a white roof, and the G-Wagen is available in either black or tan.

The models are 12.7cm long, 10.1cm tall and 4.6cm wide, and weigh about 2kg.

While not cheap, at US$135 (A$190), the candles can make a unique curio for fans of the iconic off-roaders, or perhaps offer a romantic gesture to your significant other, as nothing says ‘I love you’ more than watching a G63 slowly melting away under a gently flickering flame.
