Made in Eswatini by Quazi Design, a design studio founded in Mbabane in 2010, the NSINGWENI candleholder transforms unsold magazines and newspapers into a sculptural decorative object.
With clean, simple lines, NSINGWENI comes in two designs: MAN in charcoal or MANTA in white. Approx. 26 cm tall, it adds a sculptural accent to a console or a set table, alone or as a pair.
Designed for a standard taper candle, with no metal insert; not for tealights. An LED taper candle of the same size is also suitable. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
The paper is pulped, shaped by hand, sun-dried and coloured with water-based finishes. Small variations in each candleholder reflect its handmade character. Quazi Design is a founding member of SWIFT, Eswatini’s fair trade organisation.
Pair it with the LICEMBE candleholder for a decorative arrangement, or with the PULP bowl to continue the interplay of materials. Explore our papier-mâché pieces in the wall décor and small objects collection.
