POV Candleholder by Note Design Studio for Menu

Product News: Note Design Studio of Stockholm has created a set of wire candle holders that look different depending on where you stand.

POV Candleholder by Note Design Studio for Menu

The candleholders by Note Design Studio for Danish brand Menu are called POV in reference to the filming technique of framing a shot as though through the eyes of one of the characters.

“Depending on that point of view, things will change – settings, stories and the way we interpret things,” said the designers, likening the effect to the way their product appears to change when seen from different sides.

“From some angles it seems like a flat graphical drawing – move around it and suddenly the graphic lines floats in mid air,” they said. “Shadows and shapes change, making it a fun object to interact with.”

The pieces are made of powder-coated steel wire and come in a wall-mounted version for tea lights or a table-top version for tall candles. They’re available in white, black, grey, turquoise or terracotta and can be displayed singly or mounted in groups.

Designgoat exposed the structural layers of a four-storey building to create the industrial interior for clothing and accessories brand Indigo & Cloth.

The main retail space is located on the ground floor and houses clothing, accessories and a coffee bar over a raw concrete floor.

Exposed brickwork lines the interior walls, while an adaptable shelving and display system enables the shop owners to customise the way they display products.

“The shelving on the ground floor was designed by us and built to be flexible,” Designgoat director Ahmad Fakhry told Dezeen. Each shelf can sit flat for displaying shoes and products, or at an angle to display magazines.

A long wooden display counter stretches along the centre of the space and doubles up as a coffee bar. The counter, benches and stools are all made from solid white ash and glass, and feature custom-made steel sockets for their powder-coated white legs.

On the back wall of the store, two pine pegboards are used for displaying accessories such as hats, shoes and bags.

The store extends to the first floor, where black painted steel and oak clothing rails display more clothing and products.

The second floor accommodates an office with customised light fittings and desks, while the top floor is being refurbished to create a photography studio, meeting space and storage area.
