A study in balance, proportion, and quiet drama. This sculptural candelabra features three spalted maple spires—each hand-shaped and rising at a different height—anchored to a base of charred ash. The forms are minimal, but the presence is monumental, evoking the silhouettes of distant skyscrapers or ancient obelisks.
Magnets hidden in each base click securely into an inset steel plate, allowing the arrangement to shift while staying grounded. Wax and fire find their place here, but the piece stands on its own even when unlit—more sculpture than centerpiece, more architecture than ornament.
A utilitarian object with sculptural ambition. Designed to hold light. Built to hold space.
