Candle Holder
Sven designed a candle holder for candle stubs in 2003, it consists of a concrete container and a metal lid with a hole, the candle holder burns the whole candle until a small piece of wick and stearin falls into the concrete container and suffocates the flame. A candle holder for your candle stubs.
Side Table
Sven often designs based on manufacturing techniques, during the last two year he has designed and built small side tables in bentwood. This is the second product in the exhibition.
Gustav has interpreted these two products designed by Sven. Based on function, construction and area of use, he has designed two new products that will be shown during the exhibition together with its paragons. "
