Embodying the simplicity of antique models, these delightful doodads exude a contemporary crispness that will complement your current interior decor. Pontus NY made these [minimalist candleholders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-lighting-design) for [Normann Copenhagen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vig-collection), launching them in a range of colors including white, black, pale pink, pale green, bright green and bold blue. Each has been made, more or less, from a single piece of metal material. The thin sheets have been cut to shape a broad circle, a small ring and an arm to join them. The Nocto Candlesticks are completed by bending the material twice and attaching a taper-securing pin in the middle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Minimalist Candleholders:** Create sleek and modern candleholders that embody simplicity while complementing existing interior decor. - **Atmosphere-enhancing Accessories:** Design innovative accessories that enhance the ambiance of modern dining rooms, such as light dimmers and unique candleholders. - **Contemporary Crispness:** Introduce products that exude a contemporary crispness, combining antique aesthetics with modern design elements. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** Explore opportunities to create minimalist home decor items, including candleholders, that blend aesthetics with functionality. - **Interior Design:** Provide innovative solutions and products to interior designers looking to create contemporary and minimalist interior spaces. - **Art and Craft Supplies:** Develop new materials and tools that allow artists and crafters to create sleek and modern decorative items, such as candleholders. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Architectural Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-candle-holder.md) - [Stone Cube Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qub-candlestick.md) - [Interestingly Shaped Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poise-candle-holder.md) - [Romantic Modern Lighting Sources](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wick-s.md) - [Adorable Bee-Inspired Candlesticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beeinspired-candlesticks.md) - [Minimalist Tech Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delite-20.md) - [Modernized Candelabra Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woaw-collection-by-nader-gamma.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Candle Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-candle-lamps.md) - [Chic Celebratory Candle Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diptyque-simple-objects.md)
