Warped Wicker Art

The Distortion Candlestick by Paul Loebach is Interestingly Unique

I feel as though the Distortion Candlestick could star in its own IKEA commercial. Standing wilted and warped, this interesting candle is definitely unique in its design.

Created by Paul Loebach for American manufacturer Areaware, the Distortion Candlestick is made out of crushed marble and resin. Available in three colors, it is priced at $24. Although it is decidedly distorted, the Distortion Candlestick will still bring a quirky elegance to your dining table.
