This is “where 3D becomes 2D,” according to Studio Cheha. The intricate design is achieved through a photo-chemical etching process of solid brass. The candleholders come in a variety of colors, but if you’re traditional, you can just stick to the original brass. Any candle enthusiast will enjoy this fun, detailed new way to display their [tea light candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tolo-tea-candle).
