Cell Candle Holders

$155

Made by Zaha Hadid Design

Designed by Zaha Hadid

The Cell collection draws its logic from biology. Zaha Hadid Design studied the replication and growth of cellular organisms, translating those processes into a series of stainless steel candle holders whose forms are defined by their relationship to one another, never by any single piece in isolation.

Each holder is finished in mirror-polished PVD plating, a process that produces a scratch-resistant surface of precise, enduring reflectivity. The finish catches and multiplies candlelight across its curved geometry, making the collection as much about atmosphere as object.

  • Material: mirror-polished PVD-plated stainless steel
  • Designed to be stacked, multiplied, and reconfigured in modular arrangements
  • Scratch-resistant finish achieved through physical vapor deposition
  • Part of a broader Cell collection developed as a cohesive, scalable system

The collection rewards considered arrangement. A single piece holds its own; a grouping opens into something closer to sculpture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PVD plating on stainless steel?

Physical vapor deposition (PVD) is a vacuum-based coating process that bonds a thin, hard layer of material directly to a metal surface. On stainless steel, it produces a finish that is significantly more scratch-resistant than conventional polishing, while preserving the depth and reflectivity of a mirror surface.

Can the Cell candle holders be stacked or arranged modularly?

Yes. The collection is conceived as a modular system, with each piece designed in relation to the others. They can be stacked, grouped, or reconfigured to suit different table scales and spatial contexts.

What was the design inspiration behind the Cell collection?

Zaha Hadid Design drew from the biological processes of cellular replication and growth. The insertion points of each holder, its nuclei, are treated as nodes within a larger, evolving organism rather than as standalone objects.

Are these candle holders suitable for standard taper or pillar candles?

The Cell holders are designed for taper candles. Their nuclei openings correspond to standard taper dimensions, though it is advisable to verify the specific candle diameter against the holder before use.

How should PVD-plated stainless steel objects be cleaned?

PVD-plated surfaces should be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid abrasive cloths, harsh chemical cleaners, or anything that could compromise the integrity of the plated layer over time.
