Driade Aluminium Candleholders

This pair of candleholders was designed by Xavier Lust for Italian design house Driade and first introduced in 2003. Cast in polished aluminium, each piece is formed from a continuous, flowing curve that rises from a weighted base to support a single candle, creating a sense of movement and balance even when unlit.

Minimal yet expressive, the design relies on proportion, line, and material rather than ornamentation. The sculptural form allows the candleholders to function both as lighting objects and as standalone design pieces within an interior.
