areaware - Distortion Candlestick SM Original

Not only the soft wax of the candle seems to melt at the Distortion candlestick, but more than that the candlestick itself.

The basic form of the candlestick by areaware reminds of the classic, nearby traditional candlesticks that have often been made out of brass. The designer Pail Loebach plays with this association and breaks it with his modern, playful interpretation: the specialty of Distortion lies in an integrated 3D-effect, which makes the candlestick dance regarding its look. The artificial-resin and marble-made holder seems soft and movable, as if it was out of wax itself.
