Duo by Oscar Diaz for Doiy
Posted in: Doiy, silicone
London designer Oscar Diaz will present a two-in-one candle holder at Maison&Objet in Paris this weekend.
It has a funnel to hold a tea light on one side and supports a tall candle when inverted.
Called Duo, the silicone product for Spanish brand Doiy is easy to clean because wax doesn’t stich to the flexible surface.
Oscar Diaz will exhibit a silicone pen pot for the same company during the London Design Festival later this month.
See all our stories about candle holders here.
The following information is from Diaz:
Duo is a candleholder that can be used with the two more common household candles. One side holds the traditional candlestick, and in the other the standard tea light.
The ribs in the candlestick side allow fitting for slightly different diameters of candles. The translucent silicone diffuses the light of the tea light, adding a soft warm glow to the dinner table. A small handle help to move the candle around safely once it has been lit. The wax can easily be removed from the surface of the candleholder as it doesn’t stick to the silicone material.
Duo will be presented as part of the new Doiy collection this week at ‘Maison et Objet’ in Paris (Sept. 9-13, 2011 ), Manta Design booth Hall6 StandJ66 K59.
Materials: silicone
Dimensions: 88 x 75 mm diametre

Pen Pal by Oscar Diaz for Doiy
Posted in: Doiy, London Design festival 2011, silicone, The Vyner Studio
London designer Oscar Diaz has redesigned the pen pot so there’s no need to tip pens all over the desk or jam your fingers down the side to retrieve a paper clip or pencil sharpener that’s slipped to the bottom.
The silicone Pen Pal has teeth round the edge to hold pens upright while a shallow dish in the centre contains smaller items.
Diaz will present the product for Spanish company Doiy as part of an exhibition called Barcelona Design meets London at The Vyner Studio during the London Design Festival next month.
Diaz first appeared on Dezeen in 2009 with his Ink Calendar that uses the capillary action of ink spreading across paper to display the date. See all our stories about his work here.

Pen Pal by Oscar Diaz
Pen pal is a simple pen stand made of silicone. Observing pen holders and improvised pen pots I realised that many small objects are difficult to access when they are mixed with pens of different sizes.
Usually the smaller items fall into to the bottom, which makes them unreachable and they end up taking much of the available space.
Pen Pal proposes to have fewer pens, but have all of them accessible. The central can hold clips; pins and other small objects while the conical holes allow placing pens of different diameters all around the cavity.
It keeps everything accessible avoiding having to turn your pen pot upside down to find a clip.
