10 Best Sculptural Candles
Sculptural Candles by US brand The Floral Society.
Whether you choose to light them or leave them on display (and the jury's out for me) there's no denying the visual appeal of sculptural candles.
Yes, the humble candle has under-gone quite the transformation. Perhaps as a result of our spending more time at home, this essential part of setting the mood is pulling out all the stops.
What started as an array of coloured tapers which could be carefully matched to any shade of tablecloth or dish has now worked turned its focus to shape. Candles are now art, working their way into our homes as the perfect double-duty styling prop for coffee tables, shelves and of course, the dining table. You can't but help wax lyrical about them. Yes, I really did say that.
A collection of warm spice and grey coloured arching sculptural candles from the Bend and Fungi collection at Broste Copenhagen.
From twisted wax tapers, mould poured shapes and lathe sculpted architectural forms, our tables and mantlepieces have never seen so much fanfare. And whilst some are definitely a luxury statement, they're an undeniably gorgeous piece to treat yourself to.
