Mäkký sklenený svietnik na dreve

This candle holder takes a notably low, flat form, with a single glass well set into a compact piece of natural Gamal wood made in Bali. Its shallow height sets it apart from the taller single holder elsewhere in the range, giving it a quieter, more understated presence on a table. The glass was melted directly onto the wood while hot, so it follows the exact contour of that particular root.

Symbolism

Balinese makers see a low, close-to-the-surface form like this as letting the candlelight sit close to the table itself, rather than raised above it. Many people choose a flatter holder specifically for a quieter, more ambient glow rather than a more prominent centrepiece. Because the wood root is unrepeatable, this holder's grain and shape belong only to this piece.

How to use

• Use with a single tealight or votive candle, placed on a heat-resistant, stable surface.
• Never leave a lit candle unattended, and keep the piece clear of curtains or other flammable materials.
• Wipe the glass with a soft, damp cloth when not in use.
