Our COMMON SANDS Candlestick Collection is a testament to sustainability and creativity. These candlesticks are crafted from the residual glass left after the production of our vases. As the molten glass cools, it naturally takes on its own organic and tactile shape, making each piece unique and one-of-a-kind.

The candlesticks are made from discarded glass components found in fridges and microwaves. To establish a transparent and informed connection between the resource, the manufacturing process, and the user, each candlestick is laser-engraved with details indicating the source of the material, the location of its transformation, and the date of this transformation. This not only adds a layer of authenticity to the product but also promotes a deeper appreciation for the circular journey of these candlesticks.
