"This circular base makes the cup stable so it doesn't tip over on a desk surface and prevents it from splashing the hot drink all over the place. The office mug hovers above the tealight candle, and a vertical support connects the platform to the base. Under the mug there's a circular inlet exactly where the flame hits, allowing the warmth to spread around the base easily and stop the drink from getting cooled."
"The office mug with a tealight candle named Warmer has a U-shaped handle for easy gripping. The design studio Paradigm, which renders the concept idea for the virtual studio Render Weekly, shapes the entire ensemble using aluminum because it conducts heat faster and efficiently. Aluminum also weighs less than other metals, which makes the device easy to move around a desk. The tealight candle is the only source of heat for the office mug, which makes it manual instead of electric."
Paradigm's Warmer is an office mug concept that places a brushed-steel cup on an aluminum platform above a circular base containing a tealight candle. The device has three main parts: a base that holds the tealight, a platform for the cup, and a U-shaped handle connected to the platform. A vertical support keeps the platform stable, and a circular inlet under the mug directs flame warmth to the cup while preventing direct contact with the flame. Aluminum construction speeds heat conduction and reduces weight for easy desk placement. The tealight provides manual, non-electric heat, and the platform can accept other small containers like bowls for slow reheating.
