# Upcycled Stone Decor Ghigos Studio's Recycled Stones Repurposes Rocks as Candlestick Holders By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-12-17 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candlestick-holder References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/recycled-stone-objects-designed-ghigos/) & [ghigos](http://www.ghigos.com/recycled-stones-2/) Using old rocks, this candlestick holder series challenges how natural elements can be used indoors. Based out of Italy, Ghigos Studio took the same concept as reclaimed wood and put a great geological spin on it with the design of Recycled Stones. The cylindrical pieces make them ideal as a candlestick holder as well as for holding small stems of plants or flowers. The [discarded rocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-gem) integrate copper and rusty looking rods too, giving the decor an industrial and earthy look. A solid addition to a minimalist home, the accents would suit a muted or neutral color palette. They make an interesting [upcycled gift](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hmm-design) as well. Produced by Moro, Recycled Stones exhibited at Salone del Mobile earlier in 2014. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Upcycled Stone Decor:** Using reclaimed rocks as candlestick holders challenges traditional indoor decor. - **Geological Design:** Ghigos Studio's Recycled Stones incorporate natural elements in a unique and industrial way. - **Minimalist Home Accents:** The earthy and muted colors of Recycled Stones provide a solid addition to minimalist interior design. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** The use of upcycled stones in home decor presents opportunities for sustainable and unique products. - **Interior Design:** Designers can explore the incorporation of geological elements like Recycled Stones to create one-of-a-kind interiors. - **Gifts and Souvenirs:** Ghigos Studio's Recycled Stones offer an interesting upcycled gift option for eco-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stone Cube Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qub-candlestick.md) - [Luxurious Sculptural Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-candle-holders.md) - [Volcanic Stone Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foscarini-lava-lamps.md) - [Stone Offcut Decor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvatori-precioso.md) - [Mineral-Exploring Modern Decor Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmic-relics.md) - [Luxe Refillable Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/les-mondes-de-diptyque.md) - [Warm Ambient Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflet.md) - [Interestingly Shaped Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poise-candle-holder.md) - [Beeswax Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greentree.md)
