The 'Folding Tea Light Holders' designed by Softpaper provide a pre-made DIY design that allows consumers to put together the accessory and add it to their decor. The pillars are made using a single sheet of pliable metal that is folded to construct an elegantly tall cone holder. The tea light sits at the top of the cone to offer a stylish, sleek and flat-pack votive for the home.
The votives are extremely lightweight due to the use of a single piece of metal to create a hollowed-out tea light holder. The metal is painted matte black and has a geometric styling that allows consumers to easily bend the material to create the cone shape.
Flat-pack designs are convenient to millennial consumers that often dismiss staying at a fixed location. The foldable design of the tea holders resists a fixed state and allows the piece to be set up and disassembled easily.
