Siba Sahabi presents her candlestick series Istanbul Twilight at MINT during the London Design Festival (14th-23th of September 2012)
The candleholders, made of felt, are dedicated to the metropolis that connects Europe and the Middle East. The shape of the candleholders are directly inspired by the silhouette of Istanbul. The use of colours reflect different shades of light on city facades at dusk and dawn.
Choice of material is based on a certain characteristic of wool: it doesn’t catch fire.
