Coherent Candle Sculpture

Will a single taper feel substantial on the table? Yes—Coherent seats the candle in a solid beige-marble disc, counterweighted by a dark travertine sphere that reads like a small planet. Kristina Dam Studio reduces the form to two essentials and lets stone do the talking. The base is softly honed so light glides across its surface; the sphere shows a tighter, rougher texture, catching tiny shadows. Together they turn candlelight into a quiet tableau. Because both elements are natural stone, veining and mineral flecks vary—each piece is unmistakably individual. The footprint is broad for stability, the profile low so sightlines stay open across a dining table or mantle. Set one as a focal point on a console, pair two down a long table, or mix with simple glass tapers for contrast. Unlit, it reads as sculptural décor; lit, it turns dinner into a warm, intimate scene.
