These cat shaped geometric candles will first have you delighted and then have you deceived. These cat candles appear cute and innocent, but upon burning off the wax, a metallic feline skeleton is revealed.
Designers Thorunn Arnadottir and Dan Koval have noticed an overwhelming appreciation for cats, and thus have taken a slightly morbid appreciation for mousers to the extreme. Once candles are fully burnt, you will be left with a little keepsake of all the memories that once were.
The designers are working on a line that will include a whole family of pet-shaped candles, each revealing a surprise after they’re burned. Witness the transformation of sweet tamed kittens turning into grinning metallic devil-like skeletons with sharp claws, teeth bared and an angry fire in their eyes.
