KORD tealight holder
The project brief called for a tealight holder with a simple and valuable design that could flat-pack. By establishing a symbiotic relationship between the candle and its holder, KORD imbues the intrinsic beauty of candlelight with a subtle but marketable value proposition. The two halves of the holder are clamped shut by a torsion spring brace. It is only when the tealight is inserted that the holder attains the three-dimensionality it needs in order to emerge from its flat-packed state. "ID 1: Everyday Things," OCAD U, February-April 2017.
