Description
Catacol is a white ceramic candle holder in the shape of a Christmas tree, drawn as open outlines rather than a solid form. The zigzag branches are open frames, and the outlines meet in a soft point at the tip, so you see the wall behind the tree through every gap. At its heart sits a small round cup that takes a tealight, held low between curved feet. It stands 22.7cm tall, 13.7cm long and 13.3cm wide, a compact size that fits a narrow shelf or a windowsill without crowding it.
We think it suits the places where you gather through the winter months: a mantelpiece, a sideboard in the dining room, a hallway console or the middle of a festive table. Once a tealight is lit, the glow sits inside the tree and catches the inner edges of the white ceramic, so the whole outline seems to shine softly. Because the frame is open, the light spills out between the branches, and the piece reads as much as a small sculpture by day as a candle holder after dark. It makes an easy gift too, for anyone who prefers a simple, modern Christmas look to glitter and bright colour.
The holder is ceramic throughout, and ceramic is simply fired clay, hard and dense to the touch. It weighs 0.46KG, enough to sit firmly, yet light enough to carry from the shelf to the table and back again. The white colour runs evenly from the tip of the tree to the cup at its base, so it sits happily beside other white or neutral decor. It is a piece for indoor rooms, best kept somewhere dry. As a practical note, stand it on a flat, level surface and seat the tealight squarely in the cup before you light it.
