The Shard Candleholder, now in Sand. A fresh take on our classic Shard.
We reckon this is the best darn one-third of a brick you’ll ever buy. Forged from NZ Brick Co. New Lynn bricks destined for landfill, the Shard is meticulously hand-shaped in all the right places. We then drill a cup to make room for a New Zealand made beeswax candlestick which is secured in place with a steel pricket. We finish the bottom with a layer of navy paint, Artefact stamp, and add rubber feet as a final thoughtful addition to keep your surfaces scratch-free.
The Shard’s striking silhouette will look right at home next to your bed, on a side table, or accompanying you during a well-deserved bath.
Due to our handmade production method, each Shard will vary in form.
The History
These sandy-brick-beauties were hidden amongst a pile of terracotta bricks we salvaged from a renovation project in Mt Wellington. A true diamond in the rough, we noticed a few bricks had a certain glint. Cracking through the glazed exterior felt wrong at first, but when we saw the sandy colour beneath, we knew we had to make something with it. This is the result.
