Curio

Commissioned by: Creative Industries Fund NL

2015, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Our personal passion towards the gathering and displaying of natural, curious specimens, has been the inspiration behind this collection of four uniquely shaped candles and two presentation trays.

Each candle form has been individually sculpted while carefully observing and following the fine details of the original natural objects we have collected.

The inspiration for the trays was drawn from classic museum wood and glass cabinets. We have illustrated these massive glass displays through a minimal construction made solely of powder-coated steel, resulting in a subtle, frame-like base which highlights the candles and enhances the character of the project.
