Concept
The ice
Iceberg is a candleholder set inspired on the Arctic ice. With the idea of designing a very simple object for holding a candle, that can be combined in diverse ways and play around your table with very minimalistic look, Iceberg was born from the memory those beautiful images of Ice pieces floating on the sea, like at the reportage from Simon Harsent called MELT, once you see it you can never forget it.
Something so simple as frozen water can be beautiful, fascinating, colossal and fragile at the same time. A oneness that come into pieces, floating and soaring in a surface. There is something poetic in this pieces dancing on the sea, traveling thousands of miles.

Function & form
Functional clarity
Iceberg is made of two electro-welded pieces of steel, and a pin. The main body with a bend corner to be grabbed, a pin to hold the candle and a bottom base that creates a shadow fugue giving feeling of ice pieces floating on the table.
Metal is a perfect material for the uncomplicated production of this small object and fits to an object inspired in ice, the cool touch, reflections and sound help to create the ”ice mood”.
