Nikolas Gregory Bentel is an artist known for putting a twist on everyday objects and has recently released 'The Bloom Candle.' The Bloom Candle consists of a concrete base and nine removable candles that are placed in a specific order.
According to the website, the design of the candle “explores the relationship between flowers and the sun––when they open up towards the sun, they are in fact, “melting” open.” Since the candles are placed so close together, they mimic the sun as it emits both heat and light, giving off a natural feel to the human-made object.
The Bloom Candle is limited-edition as only 100 units are being made and sold. Candle lovers and art fanatics can purchase the candle for $69 on the Nikolas Bentel Studio online shop.
