The project
Experimenting with cement led to a family of small household accessories: candle holders and holders for hand soap. Archicercle made these pieces using resin moulds, exploring different forms through a shared craft approach.
Pebbles provided the reference for the candle holders. Their rounded outlines translate that inspiration into an everyday object, with a recess at the top to hold a candle. The collection combines oval silhouettes with circular and hexagonal variations in shades of grey.
The pieces are made of cement, while resin was used for the moulds. This distinction places the work within an exploration of the material and how it can be shaped: the studio’s documented contribution was to make the holders using these moulds.
Alongside the candle holders, the same exploration included holders for hand soap. Both uses bring the work into a domestic setting without restricting it to a single type of accessory.
