Nick Valentijn Candle Holders Set
Designer:
Nick Valentijn
The Nick Valentijn Candle Holders Set is composed of three freehand-shaped brass candleholders. Their off-balance, intuitive forms reduce function to a single candle, allowing scale and silhouette to take precedence. Finished with a hand-applied patina and soft polish, the surfaces shift subtly with changing light, transforming these minimal objects into monumental studies in proportion, restraint, and presence.

Nick Valentijn
Netherlands
Nick Valentijn is a Dutch designer working at the intersection of sculpture, improvisation, and material language. A 2024 graduate of the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Valentijn approaches metal not as a fixed medium, but as a collaborator: responsive, resistant, never entirely predictable.
Form emerges through making rather than preplanning. His process begins with loose sketches so immediate they border on automatic, minimal gestures that capture just enough to suggest a shape, where proportions are felt rather than measured and irregularities held rather than corrected.
