Mehtap Obuz's Icedrop Candle Holder Looks Like It is Melting
Meghan Young — April 26, 2011 — Art & Design
The Icedrop Candle Holder is elegantly natural-looking in its frozen form. A stunning addition to any home, it brings a touch of whimsy, magic and, of course, the outdoors to your living space.
Designed by Mehtap Obuz of Demirden Design for its 'ilio' brand, the Icedrop Candle Holder is shaped like an icicle, just as you would imagine it to be from its name. Although each piece was handmade out of clear glass, the way it drops on one side as if melting makes it look incredibly real, especially since it could very well be melting from the hot candle it holds.
The Icedrop Candle Holder spans 5.5 inches in diameter and can be hung elegantly over the edge of a table, mantle or shelf.
