Wax-Welcoming Candlesticks

The Nimble Candleholder Collects Cascading Paraffin for an Easy Cleanup

— February 1, 2012 — Art & Design
For those modern people who still make use of archaic illumination, the Nimble Candleholder presents a way for the practice to shed the mess and offer increased convenience of use. However beautiful, candle sticks are often ineffectual against blocking the flow of dripping wax -- a knack that has been built into the design of this clever object.

Dominic D'Andrea actually looked to antique models of portable candle holders from which to develop his own. A smooth neck slopes gently into an upturned dish, inviting the accumulation of liquid paraffin into hardening channels and a solidifying pool. For a Post-Industrial appearance, the piece has been molded from red plastic into a smooth squared shape, complete with a loopless tag for a handle. The flexible Nimble Candleholder need be twisted only slightly to crack the toughened wax for an effortless disposal.
Trend Themes
1. Effortless Wax Disposal - The Nimble Candleholder trend offers innovative ways to make wax disposal much easier, modern and elegant.
2. Post-industrial Candle Holders - The Post-Industrial Candle Holder trend offers a sleek, smooth and square design for modern customers who love traditional lighting solutions.
3. Channeling Candle Wax - The Channeling Candle Wax trend offers innovative designs to capture dripping wax and channel it into an accessible location for easy cleaning.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - Home decor companies can incorporate Nimble Candleholders and other similar innovative designs into their product lines to offer more modern and convenient options for traditional lighting solutions.
2. Candle Manufacturing - Candle manufacturers can partner with designers to develop a new line of Post-Industrial Candle Holders, offering consumers sleek modern designs in addition to traditional candles.
3. Kitchen and Restaurant Supplies - Kitchen and restaurant supplies companies can benefit from incorporating channeling candle wax designs into their product lines, offering premium candleholders that provide a clean and pleasant ambiance for customers.
