About the Item
The upside down 5 armed bronze candelabra is made in an edition of 10. This 'collectible design' object contains a self-developed production method of hot wax solidifying in cold water, which makes every piece in this edition unique.

The solidified creation is taken from the water and is casted in bronze. After removing the plaster mould and the bronze sprues the candelabra is cleaned and patinated.
In 2009, the Upside Down won acclaim in the form of an nomination by Lidewij Edelkoort for the Talent 2009 awards (best 50 European graduation works) during the Dutch Design Week in 2009

SLOWING

PRESENT Pascal Smelik creates works of art that provoke a feeling of delay. An inner reaction to the fast-paced world we live in.

Pascal Smelik mainly works with small series, limited editions and site or context specific commissions Pascal Smelik (1983, NL) studied Product Design at the Utrecht School of the Arts. He graduated cum-laude in 2009. One year later he founded his studio in Amsterdam. Today he works from his studio in the green surroundings of Utrecht, the Netherlands Smelik gets inspired by the macro- and micro cosmos. The micro cosmos shows him that we and life itself are mesmerising, how clever biology is creating this beautiful cycle of what we call life. The macro cosmos inspires Smelik to make daily life less overwhelming. This comfortable thought make Smelik feel that the haste we fill our lives with is relative and it only exists within our minds.
