Molten glass meets natural Gamal wood in a candle holder that feels more like a small sculpture than a table accessory. The blue-green glass pools into the uneven surface of the root, catching light in soft ripples while the warm grain keeps it grounded and tactile.
The look in the light
The glass has a clear blue-green tint, with thick, rounded edges that look almost liquid.
The bowl sits directly into the wood’s natural contours, so the two forms feel shaped around one another.
Small bubbles, light marks and subtle irregularities may appear in the glass, part of its handmade character.
The wood brings a weathered, organic texture, with visible grain, knots and softened natural edges.
It works as a quiet focal point on a console, side table, shelf or low dining table.
Gamal wood and recycled glass
The glass is hand-blown, then placed while still hot over a piece of Gamal root. As it cools, it settles into the shape of the wood, creating a close, individual fit.
Each piece is made in Indonesia using traditional Balinese hand tools. The base is sustainable Gamal wood, also known as Gliricidia sepium, paired with recycled glass for a design that gives existing material a second life.
How to style and use it
Use it as a decorative candle holder in a calm corner, where the glass can catch daylight by day and candlelight by evening. Choose a candle that sits securely inside the glass bowl, and keep the holder on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
It also suits organic-modern, coastal and natural interiors, especially where you want one considered object rather than visual clutter.
Care for the glass and wood
Wipe the glass gently with a soft cloth. Keep the wood dry, and avoid soaking or leaving water in the bowl, as the glass is shaped to sit closely against the natural base.
As with any candle holder, never leave a burning candle unattended, and allow the glass to cool before moving or cleaning it.
