Retro Candle Holder

Set the scene in candlelight

Picture a dinner table lit by the warm glow of an ornate gold candelabrum. This build brings the sweeping lines of a classic European candle holder into your home. Three candles rise above a decorated central stem, while clear pendants hang beneath the arms and catch the light. Built-in LEDs give you a choice between a steady glow and a gentle flicker. It is a nostalgic display piece whose atmosphere you can change at the touch of a button.

You build the three-armed candelabrum from 593 pieces, finishing with a model around 38 cm tall on a round base. The matching arms create a satisfying rhythm as you build, while small ornaments add detail to the outline. Gold-finished elements pick out the curves, and specially developed candle pieces give the upper section its distinctive shape. A discreet button on the base switches between the lighting modes, with USB-C supplying power to the LEDs.

This is one for you if you enjoy building an object that can become part of your room. Set it on a sideboard or dining table to bring the gold finish, pale candles and clear pendants together in the light. At roughly 30 cm wide, it has a noticeable presence without needing an entire shelf to itself. Alongside other retro objects, its warm glow gives it a character of its own.
