Don't Blow Out the Candles!

Well I'm back in my home, a Starbucks in West Hartford, still without power. Although, through all the problems of life without power its nice to connect with people. Be it a minute in line at the Mall or an hour and a half with a stranger  I shared a table with yesterday (thanks for the conversation and great advice Alice and Joe). All of these interactions got me thinking, what in a space makes these interactions happen. I will agree that the way furniture and walls are placed does not always encourage these interactions, but in rare cases I believe they do.

Anyway enough about my troubles lets talk about some fire! Yesterday I talked about fireplaces and how they can become the centerpiece for any space. Today I have been looking into candle holders because a lot of times they fall under the radar when designing a room.

I found these Menu Double Candelabras by Mikaela Dorfel Design. Its two separate candleholders that intertwine the way two candles would if you placed them next to each other.

What I like most about the Menu Double is that they have two different feels when together or separate. Together  you have a dancing flame feel and when they stand alone you get the feeling of being in a Salvador Dali painting.

I also StumbledUpon this cool candle holder by WooDoo Designs. Its a clean simple design but is one you will not find anywhere else.
