Pile: Make Your Own Candle Holders by Beatriz Nuño

Product designer Beatriz Nuño focuses on the importance of play with a simple candle holder she calls Pile. Each scrap piece of wood comes with a hole in it that allows a candle to slide through it to hold it in place. Stack a “pile” of them and you have a stable candle holder.
