Description
The Kimitsu is a tall, egg-shaped candle holder in a gold finish, its aluminium body worked into an open lattice of branching, coral-like strands around a clear glass cylinder. It stands 47.5cm tall and measures 25.5cm in diameter, resting on a plain round base. Broad bands of metal sweep diagonally across the surface, so the pattern looks different from every side. As a piece of decor it belongs indoors, where the gold catches daylight and the glass cylinder gives a candle somewhere to sit whenever you want a warmer glow in the evening.
We would place it on a sideboard, a mantelpiece, a hallway console or the middle of a dining table, anywhere a tall, open shape can be seen from more than one angle. The colour is a warm brass gold, so it works happily beside wood, cream walls, dark paintwork and other brass or gold pieces. It suits anyone who wants one decorative piece to carry a room, because the openwork is handsome in its own right, and once a candle is lit the flame flickers through the gaps in the lattice.
Each Kimitsu is made by hand, so every piece is unique and the pattern of strands on yours will be its own. The body is aluminium with an inner cylinder of glass, so the clear glass shows through the openings and keeps the look light. Aluminium is a light metal, and the whole piece weighs 2.1KG, which makes it easy to lift down from a shelf or carry to the table when guests arrive. Stand it on a flat, level surface with a little room around it, and it will earn its place as a centrepiece all year.
