Candlestrip Candle Holder

What a turn-on! Power-cord plugs serve as the form for these quirky 11-inch tall candles by Brooklyn-based Design Glut. Insert them into the resin base and "electrify" any dining table or buffet with candlelight. The duo behind Design Glut, Liz Kinnmark and Kegan Fisher, got the bright idea for these candles when they were invited to participate in a design show called "InDisposed, which was about exploring the intersection between disposability and sustainability. "We wanted to explore a theme we’d touched on our past work," they explain. "Energy consumption. While our culture is constantly burning through electricity, we don’t think about it much, other than the monthly reminder of our electric bill. We ultimately designed a visual reminder of that concept: 'burning through electricity.'" This is design full of paradoxes: analog vs. digital, past vs. present, sustainable vs. disposable. Mix and match! Candles and strips are available in Black, White or Orange.
