Set of two arch candle holders in brass and smoked glass

Key measurements for finding the right location:

• Two-piece set
• Advertised dimensions: 14.5 x 9 x 29 cm
• Set weight: 1.5 kg

All you need to know about the materials:

• Arch cut from a single brass strip then cold-bent
• Fold mark visible at the top of each curve
• Free-standing feet, closed by the weight of the cup alone
• Cylindrical smoked glass placed in the cup, not fixed
• Set of two pieces of different heights
• Sold without candle, indoor use

Two arches of different heights placed side-by-side create a small architectural form, with its solids and voids: what we are looking at here is not just the flame but the open space beneath it. This is an object to be placed on a plain surface, where the shadows of the arches are cleanly cast.

What you need to know for installation and maintenance:

• Lower the glass flat into its holder; if tilted, an edge will scratch the brass.
• Dust the brass dry.
• Wash the glass separately with warm water.
• Never reassemble the piece while wet, as water will remain trapped under the glass.
