If Gio Ponti were to design a candlestick today, what would it look like? This question was what motivated the designer Damian O’Sullivan, his answer : The Louange candlestick.
The Louange candlestick conveys a quiet majesty with its slender lines that flow from one shape to another in a controlled formation of perfect harmony. Neither wholly organic nor fully geometric, the chosen balance is refined and stately.
Besides its quiet majesty there also lies ingenuity, with the design of the golden keystone (clef de voûte), which when removed, allows for the easy placement and removal of the candles. Not only does this keystone have a functional quality it also serves as an aesthetic marker. Decoration and function going hand in hand.
The main body of the candlestick is made from solid machined anodized aluminium while the keystone is made from machined brass. The result is an elegant sculptural form that embodies a quiet confidence.
The Louange candlestick exists as a double and a single version.
