① Artwork:
Harvest Candlesticks
The Harvest Candlesticks are exaggerated forms inspired by traditional handheld candlesticks and made to mirror the forms of the Chelate Table. With curved feet and long necks, they appear almost animated, especially when illuminated by the flickering warm glow of a carrot candle. The candlesticks are easily lifted by their looped handle, providing light while walking or resting on a tabletop. Each candlestick comes with five beeswax Carrot candles.
Mason Hunt designs furniture and household goods that embody an uncanny function and handmade-ness in protest of mass production. His artworks emphatically insist on their appeal as display objects as much as their practicality. Combining humble materials like wood, steel, clay, wax, paper, and sculpted epoxy, he prioritizes elegant connections between dissimilar materials, hoping to make objects one can’t help but want to touch.
