There's something romantic about floating ice -- or tragic -- if we take the Titanic as the perfect example of both; of course, these candleholders also embodies both qualities. Inspired by floating ice in the arctic sea, the Drift candleholders are simple yet full of elegant beauty. They come together to form a large surface yet break away just like ice does in the sea.

Designed by Nestor Campos for [Northern Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxor-light), the Drift candleholders is great for a number of living spaces. In place of a typical cupped holder is a simple pin that the candle is secured onto. Made out of sleek steel and powder-coated to a matte grey finish, a single corner of the candleholders is bent for easy transportation around the home.
