Not every design has to adhere to the modernist formula of perfect symmetry and scratchless surfaces. The Lava candleholder by Louise Hedström will change appearance during use. A slight draftt from an open window, and candle wax will drip and run, generating soft, natural lava-like shapes. Louise has turned a modernist predicament into a virtue with a design that recreates the candleholder during each use.
“You can’t control everything; the dripping wax is part of the design! This new bone china candle holder is also stackable to make a larger decorative feature, and can be easily stowed away in a cupboard when not in use.” Louise has had a thing for Elvis, and there is no doubt that the King is present in all her designs. “When I was a child I used to sit entranced by Elvis Presley’s Burning Love playing in my headphones, ‘Lord almighty, I feel my temperature rising, higher, higher, it’s burning through to my soul’. That tune has been an inspiration ever since.”
