‘Kyoto Candil’ light

Alvaro Catalán de Ocón / Alvaro Catalán de Ocón

Inspired by the calming light and simple mechanics of the candle, the ‘Candil’ is a glowing addition to any modern bedside table – without the fire hazard. Its Madrid-based designer, Alvaro Catalán de Ocón, has created three different models that combine brass, wood and copper elements and cleverly use the components’ conductivity. There’s no need to screw in the lightbulb: simply place the bulb into the copper bowl to light it, and remove it to turn it off – no fiddley switches required.
