Designed by Jan Ernst
The Tide collection is a symphony of contrasts, that skilfully marry smooth bronze with textured matte ceramic bases. The choice in materials serve as a deliberate expression of the reflective qualities inherent in water, offering a dynamic interplay between light and surface. The fluid forms and organic shapes that define each candelabra, create a visual dialogue that transcends traditional design boundaries. Originally conceived as pure ceramic objects, the work underwent an evolution, introducing bronze elements that now elegantly crown the ceramic bases. This marriage of materials results in a captivating fusion of nature-inspired curves and geometric precision.
Designed to accommodate extremely thin candles, these sculptures boast an exquisite balance between delicacy and strength, further enhancing the interplay between organic forms and stark geometric lines.
