The XL candle holder, a unique design by Maarten Baptist, stands as an elegant floor piece crafted to accommodate three thick candles with a diameter of 7cm. With a height of 66cm and dimensions of approximately 40x40cm in width and depth, this creation makes a bold statement in both size and style. Meticulously crafted from a 3D laser-cut steel tube measuring 7.6cm in diameter, the design's distinctiveness lies in the innovative process. Utilizing laser cutting, four strategic cutouts in the tube allow the metalworker to seamlessly bend this substantial candelabrum into a singular, flowing line. For this edition on Catawiki, Maarten chose a Bordeaux red color (RAL3007) with a matte structure. This heat-safe coating provides optimal protection to the steel tube. Weighing approximately 12 kg, the candle holder is shipped in a secure box. Over time, the tubes may bend slightly, but with careful attention, they can be easily brought back to a straight position. True to Maarten's design philosophy, this piece embodies essentialism. Devoid of superfluous ornamentation, every intervention in the design serves a dual purpose: functionality and aesthetics. Maarten adeptly employs industrial techniques in a playful manner, ensuring that each everyday object is not only functional but also quietly commanding in its presence. This XL candle holder edition is made exclusively for Catawiki and is available here through auction. Experience the seamless blend of art and functionality—a testament to Maarten Baptist's commitment to creating objects that are both utilitarian and aesthetically pleasing. As a special touch, Maarten will include three candles with your order, allowing you to illuminate your space on the same day you receive your winning design object.
