Ray of light




A traditional quality producer get hold of an innovative designer. Then things like this happen. Candles are candles, you might say. More or less, I would argue. These ones could easily pass for table figurines. “Aurora” is a self introduced project by Swedish designer Monica Förster, who sometimes likes to get away from all the restrictions connected to her usual job as a furniture designer. The candle producer Liljeholmens exists since 1839 and admit they had to think twice before making these candles. The wick has to be placed exactly in the middle of the candle, to make the candle burn without dripping. The first limited edition sold out in two days. But there will soon be other opportunities.
