Iron candlesticks are objects that I’ve forged in various forms for over 20 years. There’s something timeless about the combination of forged iron, rough hewn and elemental with the contrast of the softness of a candle. Once you light the candle of course then there’s a whole other relationship going on. I like iron candlesticks when they are simple and paired back, refined contemporary design that combines form and function. Much like our loop candlestick that you can see being made here

In the world of blacksmithing wrought iron candlesticks are one of those staples, a bit like fire baskets or hinges where the unique properties of forged iron and the tactile nature of the process perfectly suit the needs of the object.
