About the Item

A candle holder rendered in stainless steel is mounted onto the wall as an altar panel painting that folds closed to simulate a medical cabinet. The candle supported by the metal structure is pierced by nails at different heights marking time intervals in a contemporary rendition of the ancient candle alarm clock. Deliberately syncretic, the object references themes of ancient ritual and religious practices while addressing modernist values of asepsis. As the candle shortens the melting wax releases the nails onto the cabinet’s metal plate which drop with loud “clings”. This moment marks a sudden fractionalization of an otherwise fluid condition of time. A suspension of a state of temporal leisure into that of pragmatic count; palpably evidencing differences between Henry Bergson’s concepts of “objective time”: the time of watches, timetables, calendars, with that of “duration” (la durée); lived time, time felt and acted measured by subjective experience.

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.
