RAISE THE BAR – Candle Holder
2023
I thought it would be interesting to design a tealight candle holder using standard aluminium tubing, hiding the flame from direct sight while using the reflective properties of (anodized) aluminium to draw light upwards.
I designed the holder with a thin horizontal bar that supports the candle midair. The metal bar is hosted by two thin slots opposite each other. The slots allow the user to lift the candle to the top, making it easy to light up without burning one’s hand and to remove the leftover casing when the candle is finished. I carefully considered proportions to prevent excessive heating while maintaining formal simplicity.
From a making perspective, the object combines a simple intervention on a standard material and a few ready-made components.
