Description
Cidra is a candle holder shaped like a small abstract figure: a slim neck rising to a narrow cup for one taper candle, a flat body that swells out to one side in a soft, uneven curve, and a narrow waist that meets a low, round, domed base. It is made of 100% aluminium in brown, with a powder-coated finish that has a high gloss and catches the light along every edge. At 10cm wide and 20cm tall it is a compact piece, and at 0.28KG it is light enough to lift and move with one hand.
Because the body is flat and reads best from the front, it looks like a little sculpture even before the candle is lit, so it earns its place on a shelf or a mantelpiece all day, not only in the evening. It suits a side table beside an armchair in the living room, a sideboard in the hall or a bookcase among vases and ceramics, and it works on a dining table, where a long taper adds height to the arrangement. The brown sits comfortably with oak, linen, stone and warm neutral walls, and anyone drawn to organic, freeform shapes will find it an easy fit.
The holder is entirely aluminium, and aluminium does not rust, which suits a piece that may spend its life on a windowsill or a mantelpiece. The powder-coated surface is one even brown from the cup to the base, and the domed foot spreads wider than the waist above it, giving the holder a steady stance on a flat surface. The styling props shown are not included, and the holder comes without a candle. For styling, pair it with a plain taper in a pale or warm shade so the outline of the holder stays the focus, or group it with ceramics of different heights.

Frequently Asked
Is the Cidra candle holder metal or ceramic?
It is metal: 100% aluminium with a powder-coated finish in brown, giving it a smooth, glossy surface from the candle cup to the round base.
How big is it?
It is 10cm wide and 20cm tall without a candle, and it weighs 0.28KG, small enough for a side table or a narrow shelf.
What kind of candle does it take?
It has one narrow cup at the top, made for a single slim taper or dinner candle. The maker does not state the width of the cup.
Is a candle included?
No. You receive the holder alone, without a candle, and the styling props shown are not included either.
Will the aluminium rust?
Aluminium does not rust in the way iron and steel do, and this holder is 100% aluminium under its powder-coated brown finish.
Where does it look best?
On a side table, shelf, mantelpiece or dining table, where its flat, freeform profile can be seen from the front; it also works grouped with ceramics and vases of different heights.
