Hearth No. 1 transforms the warmth of a simple flame into a miniature architectural moment. Designed, handmade, and hand-carved by artist Gianna Valente, this sculptural plaster tea light holder features a recessed candle chamber and a carved upper channel for its coordinating matches.
A discreet match-striking surface is located on the underside of the sculpture, integrating the lighting experience into the design without interrupting its minimal exterior.
The natural white plaster and tactile, irregular surface contrast with the deep red tea light and red-tipped matches, creating a bold yet minimal accent. Every carved mark celebrates the handmade process, giving each piece subtle variations and individual character.
Both a functional candleholder and a small-scale sculpture, Hearth No. 1 can be displayed on a shelf, coffee table, mantel, or bedside table—with or without the candle lit.

Care
