In 2026, the Grinta agency is going to burn everything down

2026 is off to a strong start for Grinta, and they weren't about to do things by halves. Their idea was simple yet audacious: to send their clients a clear and powerful message. "In 2026, we're going to burn it all down." But behind this striking phrase, they needed a tangible, elegant, and memorable object. That's where they entrusted us, Eco.French.Lab, with transforming this crazy concept into reality: their exclusive candle.

As soon as we received the brief, we understood that this project would be a real challenge. The timing was tight: less than two weeks to go from idea to finished product. But that's exactly what excites us: when creativity meets urgency, innovation is born. For us, every project is a promise: the promise to achieve the impossible with precision and efficiency.

The first challenge was the fragrance. Grinta wanted a signature scent that would uplift the spirit, inspire, and boost creativity for 2026. Thanks to our carefully curated selection of fragrances from our expert perfumers, we explored several options before finding the one that perfectly captured the boldness and energy Grinta wanted to convey.

No in-house creation, but an expert choice, based on our knowledge of fragrances and what could create an immediate emotional experience.

Next, the choice of black wax: a symbol of strength, mystery, and sophistication. But pouring a perfect black candle is never easy. The slightest bubble, the smallest imperfection in texture is immediately noticeable. Our team therefore adjusted the temperature, density, and pouring process with surgical precision until each candle was flawless, smooth, and dense, ready to reflect light with elegance.

The final detail, the one that makes all the difference, was the tone-on-tone lion's head with its varnished finish. A symbol of Grinta, it had to make a statement without being ostentatious, revealing itself to the touch and in the reflection of light. Thanks to our mastery of finishing and wax printing techniques, we created a subtle yet majestic logo, a true jewel in relief that echoes the power of the brand's message.

During those two intense weeks, we lived and breathed the project. Every step—from choosing the fragrance to finishing the polish—was a test of responsiveness and precision. Meetings transformed into workshops, and strategic decisions naturally evolved into technical and sensory choices. We worked as an extension of the Grinta team, contributing not only our expertise but also our ability to deliver under pressure without compromising quality.

When the candles were finished and inspected, the feeling of pride was immense. They were exactly what Grinta had envisioned: powerful, elegant, bold. And they carried their message with force: 2026, we're going to burn it all down. Every customer who lights this candle will feel this energy, this audacity, this signature scent and visual identity that distinguishes Grinta… and which is made possible thanks to our expertise.

This project perfectly illustrates what we do at Eco.French.Lab. We don't just manufacture objects; we transform bold ideas into tangible experiences, with expertise, responsiveness, and attention to detail. With Grinta, we demonstrated that even in a very short timeframe, something exceptional can be created: a black candle, carefully selected to inspire and energize, and personalized with their emblem.

So, to all those who will receive this candle: prepare to experience a unique moment. The flame, the chosen fragrance, the lion's reflection… every detail has been carefully considered, measured, and perfected to convey a clear message. And behind this bold gift is Eco.French.Lab, a technical, creative, and responsive partner, capable of bringing your most ambitious ideas to life in record time.

Because in 2026, as Grinta says, we're going to burn everything down… but with panache, precision, and style. And if this candle makes you smile, inspires you, or even surprises you, then we know we've achieved our goal: transforming a crazy concept into an unforgettable experience, and demonstrating that our expertise and responsiveness are there for every project that demands excellence.
