‘tubo’ tealight candle holders by oscar diaz

the work of spanish-born, london-based designer oscar diaz, ‘tubo’ is a series of tealight candle holders that mimics the look of traditional candlesticks. the designer frosts borosilicate glass laboratory tubes, fitting each with an adjustable platform connected to the tube by a series of magnets. the system permits users to slide the tealight to different heights, as well as light the candle without burning his fingers.
