Circular Candle Holder

$112

Made by VAU

Concentric circles have long served as one of nature's most persistent geometries, radiating outward from a single point toward something boundless. VAU places the flame at that origin, surrounding it with rising tiers of hand-polished solid metal that ascend in deliberate, measured steps.

The form draws directly from ziggurat architecture, the terraced temple structures of ancient Mesopotamia where each ascending layer carried the inhabitant closer to light, and to the divine. Here, that same upward logic is distilled into a table-scale object of quiet ceremony.

  • Solid metal construction, hand-polished by craftspeople in Zagreb, Croatia
  • Genuine leather base for contrast of material and texture
  • Made to order in VAU's own workshop

VAU is a Croatian design studio whose work consistently finds architecture in the everyday object. The Circular Candle Holder is both functional and meditative, a small structure that rewards prolonged attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is the VAU Circular Candle Holder made from?

The Circular Candle Holder is constructed from solid metal, hand-polished in VAU's own workshop in Zagreb, Croatia. The specific alloy is not publicly disclosed by the studio, but the finishing process gives the surface a refined, reflective quality consistent across their collection.

Where are VAU products manufactured?

VAU designs and produces its pieces in-house at the studio's own workshop in Zagreb, Croatia. Each piece is made to order, which means production begins after the order is placed rather than from pre-manufactured stock.

What is the lead time for a made-to-order VAU piece?

Because each VAU product is made to order, lead times vary depending on current workshop capacity. It is advisable to contact the point of purchase directly for a current production estimate before placing a time-sensitive order.

What type of candle is compatible with the Circular Candle Holder?

The Circular Candle Holder is designed to hold a standard taper or pillar candle at its central aperture. For precise sizing compatibility, refer to the product dimensions or consult with a design professional familiar with the piece.

What is the design philosophy behind VAU's objects?

VAU is a Zagreb-based studio that approaches decorative objects through the lens of architectural thinking, drawing on historical structures, geometric systems, and the contrast between industrial materials and handcraft. Their pieces are conceived as objects of cultural reference as much as function.
