The Taes Candle Holder is a contemporary interpretation of the graphic and functional elements of these sloping-sided platforms. The object is crafted in the vicinity of Amsterdam out of solid European oak wood or American walnut. The handmade metal candle holder unit is available in solid aged brass or brushed stainless steel.
The Taes collection draws inspiration from the majestic sloping-sided architectural platforms, historically used for religious, ceremonial and defensive purposes. In stacked form, the platforms raise monuments such as pyramids and temples. Single platforms were used as foundations of buildings and defensive structures.
The objects are crafted by artisans in the vicinity of Amsterdam, in close collaboration with Aad Bos. The collection combines woodcraft, metalwork and stonemasonry, using the highest quality sustainably sourced natural materials.
All products of the Taes collection made-to-order and customizable with a production time 7-8 weeks. A limited stock of Taes candle holders is available from stock. The products are numbered and come with a signed certificate of authenticity.
