# Congregating Candle Artworks Each Piece in Crowd by David Taylor is Given a Human Name By Meghan Young | Published 2012-09-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crowd-by-david-taylor References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/design/david-taylor-candlesticks.php) & [superdave.se](http://www.superdave.se/) Crowd by David Taylor is a [congregating group](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woaw-collection-by-nader-gamma) of candle holders, each of which have been given human names. Although that is the only human quality these candlesticks have, it is enough to imbue a sense of personality and character into each one. The Stockholm-based Scotsman designer says, "Crowd will ultimately incorporate 25-30 individuals and is an organic community of work rather than a static body." Displayed at the Galleri Montan in Copenhagen, Denmark, Crowd by David Taylor is currently comprised of three candle holders: Kevin, Angela and Sid. They are made from materials such as [leather, concrete and steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hughmanity). While each one can stand on its own, there is a continuity that link them together. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Personalized Art:** Creating custom art pieces that have a sense of personality and individuality. - **Artistic Use of Materials:** Exploring unconventional materials and mediums to create unique art pieces. - **Community Art:** Building a collection of artworks that form an organic and interconnected community. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Opportunity to create personalized art pieces using unconventional materials and foster a sense of community within the art world. - **Home Decor:** Incorporating personalized and unique art pieces into home decor to add character and individuality. - **Craftsmanship:** Exploring the use of different materials and techniques to create artistic and functional candle holders. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fire Connection-Inspired Candleholders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charles-kalpakian-1.md) - [Luxurious Sculptural Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-candle-holders.md) - [Architectural Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-candle-holder.md) - [Unusual Limited-Edition Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bloom-candle.md) - [Ritual Sculptural Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alma-mater.md) - [Warm Ambient Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflet.md) - [Stacked Dynamic Light Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilt-shift-collection.md) - [Exquisite Time Lapse Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xl-porcelain-candles.md) - [Artfully Functional Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chant.md)
