Rise + Shine Candle Holder

€582,00 EUR

Rise + Shine 

Some objects take themselves seriously. Rise + Shine doesn't. Squeeze the rubber bulb and the candle rises; twist the release knob and it sinks back into its aluminium cylinder. It's a height-adjustable candleholder that's cheerfully, unmistakably suggestive — a joke it makes with a completely straight face. Behind the wink is real mechanical craft: inspired by a set of idiosyncratic 19th-century candleholders at the Barnes Foundation, and made in a tiny local batch in Brooklyn for Paraphernalia: Desire during NYCxDesign 2025. Sometimes you just have to surrender to the irony of the simple.
