Fixum: A Candle Holder That Adapts to Different Sized Candles

Vij5, who’s launching 10 new products in 10 weeks, released another product in that series and this one is from designer Floris Hovers. Fixum is a simple candle holder that adapts to the thickness of your candle. Made from powder-coated steel, a pear wood block, and a butterfly screw, the holder was designed to work with any candle you have lying around, instead of those one-size-fits-all holders that limit what you can use. Utilizing the different materials, Hovers created an assemblage of not only parts, but colors for a distinctive look.

A candle is placed up against the powder-coated metal base and is then held in place by the powder-coated slide, in a contrasting color, which attaches to the wooden block with a solid brass butterfly screw. Fixum is available here in grey-white, green-beige, and pastel-turquoise.
