CANDLE HOLDER - Building
The Building is a candle holder made of mortar designed to look like a miniature building. Admire the clear and yellow-coloured glass windows that shine bright when a candle is lit inside, and the beautifully uneven rocky surface along the top edges.
Over time, texture of the mortar will deepen with natural effects of the elements - heat, rain, soil, time. Cracks may appear on the main body and glass, but please enjoy it as an appeal of the object. There are chips and bubbles in the mortar, but please enjoy it as the texture of the work. It's a deeply considered and incredibly charming object to enjoy.
*Plants are not included.

ORIGIN Japan
Based in Kyoto Japan, Nobuhiro Sato and his small team individually craft these incredible objects by hand using the same techniques and materials for constructing buildings. With the passage of time, these objects will change and take on their own expressions, just like any landscape where nature and the man-made coexist.
