The legna pod votive is made from remnants of the legna lamp.

“The pod votive adheres to the principles of jefdesigns: clean, minimal, and organically modern. Hand-fabricated by the designer of open-ended, bottomless frosted acrylic tubes, wood veneer and aluminum hardware, each piece is unique and quantities are limited. Pod votives are made to order and ship in approximately 1 week.

The Legna Pod votive is intended for use in dry conditions with tealights only. If necessary, the acrylic may be cleaned with a wet cloth. LED tealights, a greener alternative to conventional candles, are ideal and sold separately.

Available in single, triple and quad configurations. All dimensions are approximate. Actual wood is used so expect variation from samples shown

Veneer options: teak,zebrawood,rosewood,bamboo.”

This cool candle holder has multiple arrangement options (stacked or individual) and reminds me of those cool old drawings of ‘architecture of the future’.

“..Elegant dark Wenge wood and cool and sleek aluminum make for a classy and elegant presentation of this new candle holder and the fact that it extends into all three axis leaves you lots of room for experimentation… Get a couple of them and start arranging them in different ways: arrange them back to back, or cascading in size, or turn them into a modernistic setting by stacking them…”

Spooky, bodiless head candle holders by Maxim Velčovský:

“Little Joseph is a hand-painted, porcelain candle holder. We can’t decide if he’s sinister or sweet. Part of that will certainly depend on what you decide to do with his hair. Use dripless candles if you’d like to keep him bald, otherwise, give him pure white locks, beeswax locks, or hair in several shades of the rainbow.”

Made in the Czech Republic.

These are quite nice, especially since they are on sale.

“These delicate porcelain vessels throw the subtlest of light when lit votive candles sit inside.The decorative imprints that adorn them are from organic materials embedded in the clay before the firing process. The bits burn off leaving behind an added visual and tactile dimension.”

For anyone serious about their decorative accessories, these sconces are a simple yet pretty addition for candlelight.

Rectangular(10″L x 18″H; candle holder: 4.5″ diam) or
Round(13.5″ diam; candle holder: 4.5″ diam).

I’m not a huge fan of an overly olfactory experience, but I think this is perfect for anyone who is.

“It’s an incense burner. It’s an ashtray. It can hold a taper candle, or a tea light. It’s the four-in-one cube that serves four different functions depending on what side is up. Available in matte black or glossy white, this is a cleverly designed ceramic cube for those who cringe at clutter. Devised by Gualitiero Saachi and made in Italy for Bosa.”

For those of you looking for a different way to add atmosphere, this oil lamp shadow projector might do the trick. Just make sure your visitors aren’t afraid of birds…

“Lumen is an acid-etched, stainless steel, oil lamp shadow projector. It comes with two 17-hour fuel cells.”

Designed by Adam Frank.

I’m not a huge candle-fan, but I like the idea of fire and ice used together. You fill the mould with water and let it freeze, then you light the candle and as the ice melts, it drains neatly back into the mould.

Who would have thought dodecahedrons could be so pretty? Well, Mr. Verner Panton, of course.

“…set of two candleholders was designed by Verner Panton in the 1960s. The clear glass facets of each holder creates a mesmerizing effect with the lit flame therein.”

Flickering candlelight in the form of a lightbulb. Pretty clever.

“votives in the form of large globe 60 watt light bulbs made out of thin cast white porcelain – allowing the small candle within to emit a warm, glowing light.
each votive comes with a votive holder, made to hold the object at an angle, allowing the threaded bulb base to act as both a handle and a vent.”

Includes 2 votives and 2 holders.

Several of these scattered randomly about the center of a table would make an extremely nice centerpiece, or one on it’s own would make a nice, simple accent.

“Finely crafted from polished stainless steel, this four arm candleholder evokes 1970’s minimalist sculpture. Expertly balanced, it adds a striking modern note to any table or credenza.”

This candelabra folds up and fits nicely in a drawer. But it’s so nice you may just want to keep it out 365. Or maybe 364 so you can make use of the folding mechanism.

“We normally advise against playing with fire, but you won’t be able to resist reconfiguring this amazing candle holder over and over. Jonas Grundell’s flexible design allows for up to seven candles, arranged in linear, circular or asymmetric patterns—whatever suits your whim. Simply choose your display, then tighten the center screw to hold each arm in its place. Choose from four stately colors.”

If I was more of a candle person, I’d probably buy these pleasantly hefty candleholders. I’m quite fond of the high gloss finish (especially the white and black).

Yellow, Black, Stem and White available.

I’ve seen this somewhere before, don’t remember exactly where, but I do remember thinking it’s a fantastic idea. Why hasn’t somebody thought of this before? With this candle, the matches are right where you need them.

“With Candlestick Maker, the actual object is a 4″ diameter surface from which a repository for a candle emerges. It can be placed on virtually any other object – an empty bottle of household cleaner, and elegant wine stem, a vase… literally anything! By placing this piece on an object of your choosing, you actually create the candlestick.”
