Description
Armel is a black candle holder in mango wood, 20cm tall and 7cm across, built up from simple geometric parts. A tapered cup at the top holds the candle, three flat rings sit stacked at the waist, and a wide cone flares out to the base, so the outline has the look of a chess piece. Mango makes up 95% of it and iron the other 5%, and the whole holder weighs 0.39KG, light enough to move easily from a shelf to a table.
At 20cm it is a tabletop height, made for a sideboard, a console table in the hallway, a mantelpiece or the centre of a dining table. The grain of the wood shows faintly beneath the black finish, so the holder sits comfortably beside light wood, stone and marble and gives a strong upright line among softer shapes. It takes a slim taper candle, plain or twisted, and a tall taper gives it real height for an evening gathering. Two or three grouped together on a sideboard work well, and one alone suits a bookshelf or a bedside table.
Mango is a dense hardwood with a lively grain, and because wood is a natural material, the pattern of the grain varies a little from one holder to the next, so yours will have its own character. The cone widens to a broad round base, which gives the narrow body a planted look on a shelf or a table. The candles and other styling props shown are not included. As a practical styling note, choose candles in a lighter tone so the candle stands clear against the black, and leave a little space around the holder on a shelf so its stepped rings and flared cone can be seen.
