Amorphous Candles in Black Shagreen-Textured Wax & Brass by Patrick Coard, Paris
By Patrick Coard
Located in New York, NY
The Paris based label has distinguished themselves since their launch, with their iconic use of shagreen mixed with brass and other exotic materials. All furniture is handcrafted by skilled artisans, ultimately making each piece unique, designed in Paris and produced in the Philippines.
The cream amorphous brass sculptural candle collection is the first design and now iconic signature collection within the universe of Patrick Coard Paris. These candle are intended to be lit and due to its unique formula, a small diameter will be created as it burns so that overtime one will not lose the overall sculptural shape as it burns. Over time as the candle burns one will also be able to see the metal from inside, which creates a glow effect. Discover the family of sculptural candles to complete your collection. Sold as a group or separately, each candle is available in cream or black. The unique shagreen textured wax is original to the collection as well as the brass inserts. These candles are not only functional pieces but a work of art.
