Misa uno

A candleholder that breaks with tradition, the first candleholder design signed by Boehme: made for a single use, it translates the same traditional language into a practical, everyday format, transformed for one candle. It is made of clay, traditional to the Totonicapán region. Pieces like this have always represented religious syncretism. Its shape is inspired by wrought iron and by the nature that surrounds those who make it.

Note:

Each piece is made and painted by hand in the department of Totonicapán, Guatemala.

Made entirely by hand, each candleholder carries small variations in size, colour, texture and scent. These irregularities are what make it a one-of-a-kind piece.
