Laura WelkerCandle Holder Light Green

A candle and its holder are more than mere functional home accessories. Just ask Laura Welker, who is best known for her playful designs that turn everyday objects into full-fledged works of art. The German artist and designer has made candles unpredictably fun, largely thanks to standout creations like this high-heeled candle holder. Drawing from her fascination with shoes, Welker originally made the ceramic accessories for her mother, as she says they went on to bring her good luck. Now, the accessory serves as a beacon of light (no pun intended), bringing good fortune at the end of every candle burned.
