Azure Magazine showcases four innovative candle holders centered around design. The Pair by Lars Tornøe for Muuto boasts a unique modular X-shape that accommodates four candles, crafted from anodized aluminum available in five matte shades: Black, Brown, Green, Light Blue, and Aluminum. Alessandro Stabile's Hopy for Magis takes inspiration from ring-stacking toys, featuring four concrete pieces in different shapes and colors, allowing for 48 distinct configurations. Ilja Huber's Blox for Normann Copenhagen is made up of three cylindrical stone blocks mounted on a stainless-steel axis, offered in dark green marble, deep burgundy marble, and travertine. Lastly, Maribel Carlander's Fundament series for Frama presents three geometric holders made from laser-cut brushed stainless steel, suitable for solo display or grouping.
