Crooked

About

Crooked

Crooked Candlestick draws inspiration from the intersection of design, art, and architecture, with clear references to all three fields. Additionally, the candlestick is a tribute to the designer's love for “crooked” characters.

The design and materials are chosen to create a poetic interplay between the hard and the soft. The shapes are twisted, organic, and challenging, while the material carries a certain weight. The candlestick's winding silhouette draws inspiration from twisted staircase designs found in modern and progressive architecture, particularly brutalism.

Crooked is unconventional and odd in more ways than one, which makes it a multifaceted object in the home, constantly changing character depending on the angle from which it is admired. Crooked is a sculptural piece and a candlestick in equal measure.
