Breakthrough candlesticks

Dutch design company Koninklijke Van Kempen & Begeer has come up with some pretty slick and smart candleholders.

Made of silicone, each Candle Holder ELAS has a flexible opening that allows you to simply insert candles of various diameters into the holder. That means you don’t have to resize candles with the kitchen knife anymore…

The Candle Holder ELAS also has a weight at the bottom, which not only provides stability but also offers a retro look.

Available in white, warm grey, green and ochre, the candle holders can hold candles with a diameter of 2cm – 2,5cm, and which have a maximum length of 35cm.

Designed by award-winning Royal College of Art graduate Jorre van Ast, the product forms part of the Royal VKB range.
