Graphic purity and committed material: the NSINGWENI candleholder embodies everything Studio Matongé stands for. Handmade in Eswatini from recycled paper and water-based glues, each piece is crafted by a community of dedicated artisans at the heart of a high-impact social project.
Its raw, almost sculptural aesthetic fits just as well in a contemporary interior as in a bohemian or wabi-sabi universe. Place it alone or as a pair to highlight a console, set an inspired table, or create a daily ritual.
Available in two silhouettes: MAN (anthracite, graphic) or MANTA (natural, softened).
Pair with papier-mâché bowls for a strong and poetic display.
