Barro Candleholder

Barro Candleholder

 

Designed by Portuguese Rui Pereira, the Barro Candleholder is part of a tableware collection that brings the warmth and beautiful simplicity of terracotta to the table. Meaning ‘red clay’ in Portuguese, Barro represents the designer’s appreciation of the traditions and uses associated with this ancient material. The tall, elegant design features a functional saucer that creates a stable base, as well as catching any dripping wax. Crafted in Portugal from durable terracotta, the Barro Candleholder is available in natural and high-gloss colour glazes and can be used to personalise table settings with other Barro tableware or displayed on a mantlepiece or other places around the home.
