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)

Alberto High Candleholder by Oscar Tusquets
Located in Geneve, CH
Alberto High Candleholder by Oscar Tusquets Dimensions: D 8 x W 12 x H 28 cm. Materials: Cast iron painted in matte white. Available in two different sizes: low (D 6 x W 10 x H 20 cm) and high (D 8 x W 12 x H 28 cm). Please contact us. In a Surrealist play of semiotics, melted candle wax forms the candelabra itself, inspired by two of the movement’s greatest figureheads. In this design, Tusquets was inspired by one of Dalí's approaches: a softened vision of a rigid object. Candle wax was melted, solidified, and cast in bronze—originally left with its natural finish but later glazed in an off-white shade, such that when the candle burns and drips, the wax blends with the candelabra itself. Despite the influence of Dalí, the result looked somewhat like a sculpture by Alberto Giacometti, and Tusquets renamed the object accordingly. Oscar Tusquets describes himself as an architect by training, a designer by adaptation, a painter by vocation, and a writer through the desire to make friends. Graduating from Barcelona’s Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura in 1965, Tusquets became a member of Studi Per. Together, they founded BD in 1972, and he set about designing furniture and objects, soon recognised by the Spanish National Design Award. BD Barcelona In 1972, a group of young architects and designers from Barcelona started BD. Our aim was to produce and market furniture...
