Fire, in its beauty and danger, opens up a space for contemplating the transient within these already burnt wooden candle holders by VON SCHOENEBECK. The masterful craftsmanship, inspired by a centuries-old Japanese technique, tells a profound story solely through the charred surface. This poetic idea emerged after the burnt-down candles had started to lightly charr the surface of the rough wooden prototypes.
The colour combination of black and red creates a synthesis of elegance and festive expression. The three simple, repeating basic shapes merge into a fascinating geometric figure constructed on the same foundational form. TETRIS dazzles in the distinct variations: for three, five, or seven candles. They carry a rich heritage, inter-weaving tales of tradition, origins, and a longing for beauty.
The candle holder first caught attention as a prototype made from scrap wood during last years Kocherlball, an annual traditional Munich celebration. Every year in the middle of summer, people gather shortly after midnight, bringing their picnics, cutlery, and candles to illuminate the many tables of the still-sleeping and dark beer garden. With the first drinks served deep into the night, they experience the sunrise in the magical light of hundreds of chandeliers and dance into the morning dew. On the eve of the celebration the studio crafted three rough prototypes of the candle holders specifically for the ball night. Many attendees of the ball were so impressed by these rough prototypes that the began to purchase them directly from the table. This triggered the creation of the first edition of the chandeliers.
