Possibly a little alarming at first glance, we reckon these 'Bias' candlesticks are actually rather charming.

Created by the super Mike & Maaike, they're one design the duo made as part of the 'Illuminate” series of candle holders commissioned by Phase design.

Triggering curiosity and seeming to defy gravity with their subtle tilt, each one is made of solid walnut with a turned brass insert.

M.E. thinks a little forest of these in the centre of a dining table would definitely be a conversation starter this season.

Pick up one, or a few here at Phase Design.
