It's okay to be perplexed by the Flatlight Candlestick. After all, there aren't many faux 3D candlesticks on the market today. That's right, this candlestick is actually a 2D brass sheet masquerading as a candlestick. It was created by the Tel Aviv-based Studio Cheha. The Flatlight Candlestick is made completely from brass and measures only 0.4 millimeters thick.
The Flatlight Candlestick lies perfectly flat on any surface and gives the impression that you have some sort of long and angular candlestick set up. However, no light comes from this design, but it does work best with tea lights and is a great way to add a touch of class to said low-class candle. Studio Cheha has taken the Flatlight Candlestick to Kickstarter and is seeking $8,363 in funding.
