SolidNature and Sabine Marcelis Turn Amsterdam Fashion Week Installation into Limited-Edition Candleholders
Following their successful table setting at Amsterdam Fashion Week 2026, SolidNature, in collaboration with Dutch designer Sabine Marcelis, has introduced a limited edition of 400 sculptural candleholders. What began as a one-night installation has transformed into collectible pieces crafted from solid stone. The collection showcases two materials: translucent Honey Onyx in a soft orange and earthy red Sunset Dune Travertine. Each candleholder, designed to hold three standard dinner candles, boasts unique veining patterns. Offered in two lengths—500 mm and 650 mm—with only 100 pieces available for each size, these items can be purchased exclusively through SolidNature's webshop. David Mahyari highlighted the fusion of historical and modern design in this collaboration.
