Hasta La Ideas

pEarlier this year Reza Feiz, principal of L.A.-based A HREF=”http://phasedesignonline.com/” Phase Design/A, invited four of his favorite designers/design firms to join him in solving the same problem: Design a candleholder made from a 12″ x 9″ x 1.75″ block of walnut, using turned brass inserts to hold the actual candles. /p

pThe beautiful results were on display at this year’s NYIGF, and here’s what the quintet each came up with:/p

pConcentric circles – one smaller one larger – each with a single candlestick holder. Turned rotated in relation to each other, they create a sort of candelabrum that can be reconfigured. Although they belong together, they also work separately. Twins. But not identical. A non-static pair./p

pThe name ‘Bearing’ sprang to our minds because of the associations we saw between our concept and that of one of Sweden’s most successful engineering inventions- the radial ball bearing./blockquote/p
