the jump from "symbolic hand" to "millions of..." is nice. I like the second one very much, but only because I have seen the first.

Brave, intelligent and aesthetically interesting

Brave?... Really?... This is the gift you give to your aunt... If anyone want's to buy one of these find Kamran's aunt in three years, I heard she's having a yard sale... Great job Designboom, I'm sure this will be one of most innovative candle holders of 2010! Because what we really need in the year two thousand ten is symbolic candle holders...

respect, dear habibe , we are toghether

Hey Battleshark- have you seen the other entries? I guess you figure a hatchet stuck in a piece of wood with a light bulb is what we need now. And while you're at that garage sale, you won't be able to see the candle holders for all of those absolutely redundant bulbous "planters" I guess that's what we need- a design copied from every DIY site

I think a hatchet stuck in a piece of wood with a light bulb is exactly what we need to break up ka-lai chan's self portrait "chair" in the dark.

The only thing I can see wrong with the planters is that they didn't waste enough material...
Battleshark   01.17.10
great!
where is my vote?!
