areaware - Distorion Candlestick

The designer Paul Loebach distorted and transcribed a classic candlestick with the help of a 3D-Rendering program for distortion. The result is a candlestick that looks like it was melting or bending in the heat.

The American manufacturer areaware manufactures distortion out of resin and marble. The material supports the soft look which seems like it has just come out of an animated film with its distorted construction.

Despite the weird appearance, the candlestick fulfills its real duty perfectly: Distortion carries a candle stabile and especially straight so that wax does only fall on the prepared shade.
