RAW - Small brass candleholder

A sand-cast brass candleholder in two sizes where the raw cast surface is contrasted by highly polished surfaces.

The shape of the brass candleholder is based on an archetype where the studio has worked to change the proportions to find a new expression. The purpose behind the RAW project is to find new, exciting and unusual objects to manufacture from metal and to use the many years of expertise in metalworking that we possess. Creative processes and the influence of the hand meet industrial production. We have worked with metal in various manufacturing processes such as casting, turning, and polishing in eco-brass, gas cutting, bending and welding in raw steel. The processes leave traces in the material that are usually removed during post-processing, but which are left here and become beautiful details that are instead highlighted. Simple archetypal geometries with stringent curvature allow materiality and process to take over and create character in the objects.
