The Lampara Candela shows that people can easily embrace modern products (yes, electricity can still be considered rather modern) while enjoying items from the past. This table lamp provides light in a nostalgic manner since it is [shaped like a candle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woaw-collection-by-nader-gamma). Interesting enough, instead of emitting a [warm glow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflet) such as a candle would, the Lampara Candela provides a soft white light. This coolness acts as a reminder that the Lampara Candela is not really a candle.

Designed by Juan Benavente Valero for Kundalini, the Lampara Candela is a [opal mouth blown triplex glass diffuser](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuloa). Available in two sizes, it has a delicate presence that would really add a beautiful ambiance to just about any living space.
