candelabre


2005
size: 1100 x 550 mm
aluminium, polyester/silk rope
altar candles: 350x40 mm


This oversize candlestick for altar candles is made from turned and milled aluminium pieces. The surface is worked up by hand to give a structure that ads life to the normally grey and cold aluminium. The candlestick is delivered as a kit.
The kit consists of 16 parts and a rope. This rope functions as the vital joiner keeping it all together by looping trough the construction. Three sliding counterweights at the bottom of the post maintain the required tension in the rope that holds the structure up.
