Designing a Magical Birthday Experience

Yong Zhang, an Associate Dean and Associate Professor at Liaoning Petrochemical University, has unveiled "Wonderful Travel," a captivating collection of children's birthday candles inspired by space exploration. The candles, designed in Fushun, Liaoning Province, China, aim to create a magical and memorable birthday experience for children.

Utilizing local wax materials, the design team sought to revitalize the wax industry by infusing it into the realm of children's birthday celebrations. The candles, featuring characters from space exploration, aim to meet the substantial market demand for unique and culturally accepted birthday products.

The unique properties of the design lie in its incorporation of beloved space exploration themes, such as ice and snow, Jurassic dinosaurs, and marine science, into the birthday atmosphere. The candles are made using 3D printed characters and a carefully curated wax mixture, resulting in a one-of-a-kind product.

The "Wonderful Travel" candles come in two packaging options and are designed to be interactive, allowing children to decorate with them like toys. The set includes six space exploration characters, each with its own distinct personality and role, adding an extra layer of fun to the birthday celebration.

The project, which commenced in January 2019 and concluded in July 2019, was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Baby, Kids, and Children's Products Design category in 2020. This prestigious accolade recognizes the exceptional creativity and resourcefulness exhibited in the design, contributing to an improved quality of life for children and families.
