ALTAR CANDLE HOLDER
Based on the huge displays of votive candles seen in European cathedrals, Altar is less a candle holder and more a stage for your candles. Playing into the idea of lighting candles as a ritual act –whether religious or not– Altar is designed with the entire process in mind, with an integrated maplewood matchbox and striker. Originally designed with a recycled cork insert to amplify the warmth of the candlelight, the updated Altar acknowledges the endless possibilities of the design with a fogged acrylic diffuser in its place. With its primary shapes and brutalist concrete, the architectural base provides a beautiful counterpoint to the organic dripping of wax, resulting in an unusual and gothically beautiful object.
