A Candleholder Inspired by Ice in the Arctic Sea

With its simple, low profile, you can see that Drift gets its name from the very thing that inspired it – frozen ice floating in the Arctic Sea. The modular set of four candleholders, designed by Nestor Campos for Northern Lighting, can be configured in a variety of ways or used individually.

Its weightless appearance comes from the holder’s base being hidden from view, as it was designed to accommodate a variety of different candles sizes. Instead of the candle fitting into the cup-like base, Drift’s sleek steel and powder-coated matte grey finish base contains a single pin that holds the candle in place. One corner of each holder is bent slightly up making it easier to grab and move as needed.

Drift will be available in Autumn 2016.
