# Folded Metal Flambeaus The Lettera G Candlestick is a Modern Pop-Up of an Antique Design By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-05-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lettera-g-candlestick References: [habits.it](http://www.habits.it/web/work_detail.php?cat=Objects&prj=143) It's certainly an art form to be able to marry the styles of the past and present into a harmonious object that references both eras. The Lettera G Candlestick is one of such items, taking the elegant forms of antique french candelabra and recreating them with an industrial material that's manipulated in its usual way. A thin sheet of metal, in the shape of a rectangle, is folded neatly down the middle so that the slightly angled left and right leaves create a stable base. On one side, the outline of an old flambeau is cut out, and this silhouette is creased and bent towards the other face. The Habits Lettera G Candleholder integrates small bases for each stick, exuding a contemporary asymmetricality with an old-fashioned flair. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Antique-inspired Design:** Opportunity for creating modern products that pay homage to the elegance and charm of antique styles. - **Industrial Materials:** Potential to experiment with unconventional materials like metal to create unique and innovative products. - **Contemporary Asymmetricality:** Advantage of incorporating asymmetrical design elements into modern products for a fresh and unexpected aesthetic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for introducing unconventional and modern designs in the home decor industry. - **Furniture Design:** Potential to explore the combination of antique and industrial styles in furniture design to create visually striking pieces. - **Art and Sculpture:** Opportunity for artists to utilize industrial materials and asymmetrical design to create unique and thought-provoking sculptures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fire-Inspired Artful Candelabras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forge-candelabra.md) - [Architectural Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-candle-holder.md) - [Interestingly Shaped Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poise-candle-holder.md) - [Stone Cube Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qub-candlestick.md) - [Fire Connection-Inspired Candleholders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charles-kalpakian-1.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Candle Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-candle-lamps.md) - [Ritual Sculptural Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alma-mater.md) - [Modular Candleholder Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-candleholder.md) - [Stacked Candle Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candl-stacks.md)
