Or the Twist candles that use the flexibility of wax. In this project Lex Pott tried to combine both base and the candle in a single material shape. Resulting in one candle double ends candle.

mobil'O
Who has not observed the birds behind their window during confinement?
These rare escape moments inspired two architects designing mobil'O: small mobiles representing the silhouettes of birds. These mobiles are made from an assembly of the thinnest and lightest possible materials: when balanced, placed near a window, the mobiles sway gently, in the air currents.
The 2020 collection is inspired by twelve common ornithological European species. The mobiles come in several formats, from "solo" to "quintet" depending on the species and the number of birds. The shades chosen are inspired by autumn colors, available in six colors: amaranth, sage green, midnight blue, smoke gray, ocher and chestnut. Each mobile is entirely made to order and assembled by hand.
So beautiful!
