Icelandic design | Black clay & molten lava candleholders

Iceland is a kind of magic country, in my opinion, I like how designers get inspired not only by nature, but also use material found in nature for their creations. Baugar (Halos) is a series of sculptures by Guðný Hafsteinsdóttir. Consisting of three different sized rings made from coarse black clay and molten lava Baugar is a sculpture with a raw volcanic texture. The rings are carved out to hold candles which can be arranged within the rings by each liking.
