When Elena Portman accidentally spilled her experimental chai-scented wax on a broken 3-D printer during a late-night college hackathon, the malfunction fused the wax into delicate geometric lattices that trapped and slowly released fragrance; stunned classmates begged to buy them on the spot, so she spent the rest of the semester reverse-engineering the glitch, refinanced her comic-book collection to file a patent, and launched LatticeGlow—an online boutique where every candle is printed, not poured, shaped by purposefully “mis-calibrated” printers that transform cozy spills into sculptural aromas, now lighting up designer hotel lobbies from Reykjavík to Cape Town.
