These are sculpture that happens to hold a candle. Alice Damiens, working as Romie Objetti, builds totemic forms in turned ceramic — stacked spheres and tapers that read as small figures more than functional objects — and the candle is almost beside the point.
They come as a pair, one short and one tall, in a high-gloss ecru glaze that catches light along every curve. Made in Portugal, finished to a sheen that lets the silhouette do all the work; you notice the shape long before you notice what they’re for.
We’d buy them for the form and treat the flame as optional. Set the two together on a mantel, a sideboard, or the corner of a long table — unlit, they hold their own as objects. Lit, they’re simply a quieter version of the same thing.
