Me To You Candle Holder

Process drawings by designer Søren Niedziella.

I get obsessed with things that can be made better. Wax dripping on the cake and plastic that get messed up with the cake is hardly apt when you celebrate your 80-year birthday.
—Søren Niedziella

Me To You will remain after the candles are blown out and the celebratory cake is finished.

Me to You.

Choose between gold- or nickel-plated brass, buy one or three along with candles.

Designer

Although with a background as biologist and editor of nature and leisure books at the media company Politiken, Søren Niedziella is triggered by design challenges. ’I get obsessed with design: things that are not on the market, or things that can be made better.’ Søren Niedziella has just embarked on his design career, and Me To You is his first design project. It replaces the usual plastic candle holder with one with one that offer heart-shaped rose petals made in gold- and nickel-plated brass. ‘Why not make an ever-lasting design instead of a single-use one that let the wax drip on your cake? That is hardly apt for a 80-year celebration or any birthday. I hope Me To You will be available in many different flower shapes, and even a celebratory Champagne Coupe. Wouldn’t it be nice for kids to choose their favorite flower, or create a whole meadow of flowers?’ Søren Niedziella has a keen interest in metalware and has been collaborating with Sweden’s premier bladesmith to produce swords, among other things, for the movie Arn: The Knight Templar.

Product Story

Flower shaped gems holding the candles of the birthday cake. A classic heart-shaped form recalling rose petals. Gold or Silver? Or both? Old medieval ring songs comes to mind, like the Swedish song Bro Bro Breja chanted at Midsummer Nights Eve.

All holding hands halt at that imaginary moat and revealing the precious metal of their choice: gold or silver. The two teams will then engage in a tug of war. Søren Niedziella has shaped the candle holders out of real ever-lasting materials instead of throw-away plastic. Me To You will remain after the candles are blown out and the celebratory cake is finished. ’I get obsessed with things that can be made better. Wax dripping on the cake and plastic that get messed up with the cake is hardly apt when you celebrate your 80-year birthday, or even if you are just a small kid.’ Choose between gold- or nickel-plated brass, buy one or three along with candles. Søren Niedziella intends to follow up with other types of flowers, and even a celebratory Champagne Coupe. ’Wouldn’t it be nice for kids to choose their favorite flower, or create a whole meadow of blossom?’
