This project explores how sensory-focused product design can support attention, time management, and task engagement for individuals with ADHD. Translating research on sensory sensitivity and cognitive performance into a functional candle design, Monolit candles combines single-note fragrances, muted pastel colors, and the gentle ambient sound of a wooden wick to create a calming, low-stimulation environment.
Monolit candles involve two sets of burn-time indicators, marked in 30- and 60-minute intervals, to make the passage of time more tangible. By combining sensory cues with visual time tracking, the design aims to reduce task-related overwhelm, encourage task initiation, and support more structured focus sessions.
