Lump is a collection of simple candle holders that nevertheless have a ton of personality. They might be small and minimal, but they are chock full of charm and style. Made out of [shiny solid brass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pose-lighting), they take on one of two [geometric shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape-lamp): a cylinder or rectangular prism. Yet that doesn't necessarily dictate where the candle itself rests.

Designed by Kim Thome, a designer born in Norway and based in London, England, the simple candle holders are cut in a way that will bring to mind mini thrones. Great pieces of decor in and of themselves, the Lump collection shows that even the smallest detail can make a big impact. Especially when it comes to home decor. The simple candle holders stand out without taking over its surroundings too much.
