Cell Candleholder and Tapered Candle

The studio's Cell Candleholders reference the way that cells multiply and divide in nature, which is reflected in the biomorphic, rounded elements that contain the candles.

"The different heights allow for the candleholders to be grouped together in clusters to create multiple configurations that form a defined tablescape," said the studio.

The pieces are made from stainless steel and come in a selection of finishes, including silver, PVD black and PVD rose gold.

The candleholders can be paired with tapered candles, which are also available from the studio in multiple colours, including new colour releases rose and mauve.

Shimmer Tea Light and Shimmer Scented Candle

Shimmer Tea Lights and Scented Candles are made of crystal glass with a polished finish.

"This series has been developed as a continuation of Zaha's tower geometry research; exploring another scale, this sculptural object is a strong statement on its own and can be clustered together with other objects without seeming out of place," said the studio.

The collection comes in a range of colours and metallic finishes and scents such as smokey cade, black plum and cedar.

Braid Vase

Braid is a porcelain vase that takes cues from the architecture of towers.

"During the concept development stage, we often look at references that exist in Zaha's repertoire, more specifically the Braid series reflects our investigation into the nature of the tower form," said the studio. "The resulting objects are complex and precise, and they were a challenge to produce with this level of detail."

The vase is available in three different heights – 30, 37, and 45 centimetres – and two coloured finishes: black or white.
