A couple from Kharkiv started their own business: they developed and patented the design of candles in wood (Wood MOOD). The products are eco-friendly. Candles are non-disposable because they are equipped with wax cartridges, and use the wood intended for fuel. During the war, russian invaders destroyed a wood-working shop in the Kharkiv region, where candle bases were produced. In addition, a candle workshop in Kyiv region was looted.
