Flames Candles by Chris Kabel

Flames gas candles, 2003

Flames is a refillable gas candle designed as an elegant candelabra and crafted from the same simple, cost-effective materials as a camping stove. This design transforms the classic gas cartridge holder into a practical yet luxurious piece. With its white-coated gas pipes and tank, Flames blends functional qualities with a decorative touch, resembling a slender chandelier that casts a warm, flickering light.

‘I look at things as if they have never been seen before, then I dissect them and, after that, I reassemble them according to my own rules’, — Chris Kabel.

The ‘Flames’ gas fuelled table candle is a part of the collection of Fonds Nationale d’Art Contemporain, France, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam, and the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen, Germany.
