Pascal Smelik, The Upside Down, Custom Candelabra, Collectible Design
About the Item
The Upside Down Custom candelabra is a site specific and custom-made Candelabra. This collectible design object is designed by Pascal Smelik and produced by the finest craftsman in the Netherlands.
In collaboration with the client, Pascal Smelik will design and create a custom-made candelabra which meets the requirements (the sky is the limit) of the client and make sure it connects with the space you have in mind.
The Custom-Made Candelabra will come as a one of a kind or in a serie (max. 10) discussed with the client
Due to the production method of hot wax solidifying in cold water every candelabra in this serie is unique and comes with a certificate of authenticity from the artist.
Creation Proces:
The Upside Down Custom Candelabra is modeled by hand, upside down in an aquarium. This is done using a method by which hot wax is injected into cold water. The hot wax is poured in a syringe and is injected into the cold water. Pascal Smelik steered the syringe into the shape of the desired candelabra. The solidified creation is taken from the water and is casted in a well-considered choice of material in collaboration between the artist and client.
In 2009, the Upside Down won acclaim in the form of an nomination by Lidewij Edelkoort for the Talent 2009 awards (best European graduation works) during the Dutch Design Week 2009

Pascal Smelik
SLOWING
DOWN THE
PRESENT Pascal Smelik creates works of art that provoke a feeling of delay. An inner reaction to the fast-paced world we live in. Reflecting his desired state of mind of slowing down the present, a way he would love to live. By carefully experimenting with natural processes and forms he creates works of art that are literally ‘in the moment’. His works, referred as ‘collectible design’, has been featured and exhibited in galleries and leading art fairs around the world. 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.
