"Skinny, shapely, and a touch surreal, these tapers are candles and candlesticks in one. Years ago, we fell in love with Ontwerpduo's all-wax chambersticks, perfect for lighting the way through dark hallways (see above). Of late, a number of other self-supporting tapers have cropped up. Here are six standouts. Note that several are scented; all make great presents. Above: Diptyque's French-made Baies (Berries) taper, $110, is from the Paris company's trio of molded candles, each scented with one of the brand's signature fragrances."
"Above: Discovered at Shoppe Object's recent NYC show: House of Good's Bubble Taper Candle, $50, hand-poured in Connecticut. It comes in seven scents, such as palo santo with ginger, and we're happy to report there's also an unscented version. Above: From Spanish fashion house Loewe, the Honeysuckle Wax Candleholder, $160, "reveals delicate, honeyed notes once lit." Above: Anthèse makes scented candles out of its workshop in Hauts-de-France. This one is the Baie Sauvage; €39. Merci in Paris sells Anthèse's ivory-colored Gobi Desert candle; €39."
Self-supporting tapers combine candle and candlestick into a single sculptural object, often with scented options. Notable designs include Diptyque's scented Baies taper, House of Good's hand-poured Bubble Taper in multiple scents and an unscented version, Loewe's Honeysuckle Wax Candleholder with honeyed notes, Anthèse's Baie Sauvage and Gobi Desert candles from Hauts-de-France, and Baccarat's Harcourt all-wax candlestick in several colors. Ontwerpduo's matte Tallow Candle, introduced in 2004, is available in many unscented colors while the maker pauses production to pursue other projects. Many options make appealing presents.
