The Craft Hotel Ubud

Object No. WOO-027
Triple-Tiered Taper Candle Stand with Cowrie Inlay
Physical Description:

A contemporary decorative assembly featuring three slender metal rods of varying heights mounted on a solid, obsidian-black rectangular wooden base. Each rod supports a hand-carved wooden vessel shaped like a tapered seed pod, finished in a matching matte black wash to create a seamless vertical silhouette. The rim of each pod is meticulously adorned with a horizontal band of hand-set white cowrie shells, separated by small cerulean blue beads, reflecting the coastal artisanal traditions of the Pesisir (coastal) regions. This tiered composition balances industrial metal lines with organic hand-carved elements, serving as an elegant architectural accent or functional candle holder that draws inspiration from traditional Balinese ceremonial offerings and the rhythmic use of natural marine materials.
