New Tenochtitlan Candleholder by Driade

Diade offers a new version of the iconic Tenochtitlan candleholder designed by Vittorio Locatelli in 2005. Bright hues and pastels will be featured, and there is a new Mini format. This piece comes in many colours, so that it is easy to personalise any room: pastel and fluorescent pink, fluorescent orange, yellow, fluorescent green, water green, medium blue, and dark blue.

This object has a strong personality deriving from its seven cast aluminium branches, which are painted with a lightweight resistant powder finish to resemble coral branches in an intricate exotic design.
The name Tenochtitlan comes from the capital of the ancient Aztec empire. The designer said that when he designed the candleholder, he took inspiration from the concept of the Wunderkammer, which were rooms filled with exotic rarities and precious collectibles that were so common in European courts during the Renaissance. It would not have been strange al all to find sacred or magical coral objects in these collections.
