Project 2: posctal present











My product is an aluminum candleholder. Based on it is a present, I think about engaging the receiver in an interactive way. I choose plant shape to make it becomes more sentiment. Not only 2D object but also 3D object conveys the feeling of fallen leaf. And I make two types models, one is polishing by brasso, the other one is painting by professional paint of Japanese toy model. There are different styles, the polishing one is modern. It can match for smartness. However the painting one is more classical. It is nobility that purple and black are used on the candleholder. Especially for this one, I paint different gradation on every leaf.

  2. I think this is a very elegant product. I'm intereted to see it with lit candles as I think the leaves would cast interesting silhouettes. My only concern is close to being a decorative item rather than a functional prodct.

  3. A beatiful product that is both sustainable and durable. However in function wise, I think there could have been something else that would increase the use of it instead of just placing candles on it.

  4. This is a beautiful piece for the home although you could only call this art. The function is to hold candles on this product but there are no specified candle cradles on holes within the piece it is just one flat surface. Things like depression marks or small craters could have been marked out on the metal so that the candles could rest in something.
    There could have been another use for the product as well instead of just holding candles. Other than that this product strikes me as an elegant and simple piece of decoration for the home

  5. beautiful design. i love the way that you combine the nature into this project also there is very interesting shape of the leaves but my concerned is that will the candle hat the base? will that get hot easily? maybe add some compartment to protect the user is better.
