Project: RE-FUSE
         Candle sticks

Description: Sculptural candle sticks from the intriguing insides of obsolete fuse boxes. The fuse box contains carefully engineered porcelain sockets and copper parts along with a vast amount of beautiful screws. Nowadays ceramic fuses are replaced with new automatic fuses and thrown away. Ninna saves them from the scrap heap, cleans, unscrews and puts them back together in a new way so they can again do the job of providing warmth and light.

Each candlestick is unique and built depending on what the specific parts can do with its many pre-drilled holes. The holes, often with internal threads, dictates the reassembly. The size of the fuse holder is perfect for a regular sized candle
