Chrome Sculptural Candle Holder

About the Item

The Chrome Candle Holder is the first in a series exploring the potential of upcycled electroplating rods—industrial remnants transformed into sculptural artifacts. These rods, used in chrome baths over years of metalwork, accumulate layers of copper, nickel, and chrome, forming dense, organic-like conglomerates. Though byproducts of an industrial process, their textures evoke natural coral formations, embodying a paradox Enzo Manzini called the “stereotype of the artificial.” Rooted in medieval-core aesthetics, the piece evokes a sense of age-old alchemy, almost alien—a relic recovered from the ocean floor of a lost planet, creating a rupture where fantasy seeps into reality, inviting imaginative interpretation and scenographic possibility. Exhibited at: Acento Latino – Galerie Philia, Mexico City (2022)
