Effulgence is an object where utilitarian purpose and sculptural presence converge, transforming a simple candleholder into an expressive forged artifact. Hand-shaped through fire, hammer, and intention, the steel body carries the subtle evidence of its making — textured surfaces and calibrated curves that speak to material resistance and crafted deliberation.
The vertical form lifts light upward, its poised silhouette defined by the interplay of forged steel and warm copper accents. These copper elements are integrated with careful restraint, their richness providing a visual counterpoint to the elemental strength of the darkened steel. The contrast between materials creates a harmonious tension that rewards both visual and tactile engagement.
Designed to hold candles securely while casting soft, ambient glow, Effulgence resonates as much as a small sculpture as it does a functional object. Whether placed on a mantel, tabletop, or contemplative corner, it anchors its surroundings with a quiet yet assured presence — a reflection of timeless craft and elemental form.
