Old wooden pestle, wax-filled, 38 cm

Key measurements for finding the right spot:

• Dimensions: 34 x 34 cm
• Height: 38 cm
• Weight: 14.76 kg

All you need to know about the material:

• Old grinding pot carved from a tree trunk, hollowed out in the center
• Open vertical slits, worn edge, fibers torn by use
• Wax poured directly into the cavity, wick in place
• Refillable cavity with the wax of your choice once consumed
• 34 x 34 cm, height 38 cm, 14.76 kg
• Wax included, indoor use

A working object transformed into a light fixture is nothing new: the slits, hollows, and wear are exactly what give it value, and no two pieces are identical. It's a floor presence, next to a fireplace or a sofa, not a table accessory.

What you need to know to install and maintain it:

• Do not let the flame burn down to the first interior cracks
• Hot wax that reaches a crack in old wood will not come out
• Re-centre the wick when extinguishing, while the wax is still soft
• A off-centre wick creates a tunnel and wastes half of the wax
