Paper tealight candleholder and box from Singapore’s Trine design associates:
“[The tealight candleholder is] the intricate result of an experiment exploring form, material and laser production methods. Inspired by the beauty and resilience of a lotus flower blossom, the structure of the
candleholder comprises of three rings of petals. The intricate patterns on each ring of petals features one type of traditional floral motifs found in Chinese, Arabic and Islamic art respectively.
These three cultures form the majority of Singapore’s melting pot of culture and
heritage. Symbolically, the lotus flower represents a wish for peace and hope for the
Republic nation.
Each ring of petals can be removed individually to use as a standalone tealight
candleholder; or can be stacked together to form a single tealight candleholder–which resembles a delicate blossoming lotus flower.”
