Throw, Candlesticks, Cast: Upcycling & Material Transformation

Discarded cans are given new life!

Through sandblasting, an expressive pattern of creases is formed, then a hole is extruded to hold a candlestick. A simple transformation that turns waste into meaningful and functional design.

Design Concept

Creases that echo the fleeting nature of time. As wax drips down, it adds beauty — reminding us of impermanence, while giving new life to what was once waste.

Natural wax dripping effect creates a visually pleasing, organic look, adding character and charm to the upcycled can candlestick holder.
