Three Nordic Designers Collaborate on These Curious Candleholders

These strange but beautiful candleholders come via a collaborative effort by designers from three different Nordic countries. Hugdetta from Iceland, Petra Lilja from Sweden, and Aalto+Aalto from Finland joined forces for an experiment entitled 1+1+1, which "examines and reimagines objects by having each studio design an object consisting of three distinct parts and then mixing the parts up into unpredictable combinations." The result is a series of cabinets, mirrors, lamps, and these candleholders.

Fill Your Home with the Scent of ‘Hot Garbage Radiance’ and Other Summertime City Fragrances

By Dana Schulz

Before you get too excited (which we really hope you're not), let us tell you that these candles don't actually exist. They're a funny series from Mashable that parodies the stench of the city during a season when pleasant candle scents like "ocean breeze" and "fresh-cut peonies" take over shelves. While NYC doesn't generally smell like roses, the heat and humidity do a fine job at intensifying all of the gag-inducing odors one encounters while navigating a typical day. Candle scents illustrated here include Underfed Alley Cat Seduction, Eau du Subway Passenger, Rotting Produce, Formerly Fresh Baked Pizza, and a Gentle Gust of Garbage Truck, among some even more horrendous offenders.

Candles are probably the easiest, most common holiday gift when you just don't have a clue what to get someone. But after several years of giving the same old candle, it gets a little boring. So we've found the perfect outside-the-box candle for architecture buffs, tech nerds, or anyone who will love an attractive eco-candle. The AU Collection by artist and designer Andrej Urem is a series of 3D-printed candles inspired by architectural forms. And they're made right here in Brooklyn.
