Description
The Bongosi candle holder is a pedestal piece in aluminium, finished in a glossy beige with a gold-lined bowl at the top. The rounded bowl sits on a gently tapering column, and inside it a wide, flat gold dish gives your candle a level place to stand. It is 19.5cm high and 11cm in diameter, so it fits comfortably on a mantelpiece, a shelf or a dining table without crowding it. Towards the base the beige softens into a pale, clouded pattern, which gives the column a little depth under the gloss.
As a piece of home decor it belongs indoors, and it suits any room where you want a warm point of candlelight: the living room, the dining room, a bedroom or a hallway console. The beige is a soft neutral that sits easily with natural wood, linen and stone, while the gold lining catches the flame and gives back a little extra glow. On its own it gives a bare shelf a focal point; set as a pair, it gives a dining table some height and balance. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone who loves candles but not clutter.
The holder is made from aluminium, which keeps it easy to move at 0.6KG, and aluminium does not rust. The bowl meets the column at a neat seam, the glossy beige runs over the outside of both, and the gold lines the inside of the bowl right up to the rim, so the warm metal shows mainly where the candle sits. Because the finish is glossy, it reflects candlelight and daylight alike, and the clouded lower half keeps the shine from looking flat. Always stand it on a flat, level surface, keep it clear of curtains and anything that could catch, and never leave a lit candle unattended.
