quentin de coster’s latests creation is ‘NOSE’, a minimal candle holder that evokes an abstract profile whose nose serves to hold the candle — hence the name. the product is made of two laser cut and welded steel pieces that blend function with aesthetics and logic with emotion. with or without candle, ‘NOSE’ is a sculptural candle holder that adds a touch of poetry to any interior.
