Is This Candle Holder The Grandfather Of Pixar’s Iconic Desk Lamp?

Is This Candle Holder The Grandfather Of Pixar’s Iconic Desk Lamp?


Pixar refuses to consent to paternity tests, but it seems obvious this unique take on a decorative candelabra can claim the iconic Luxo desk lamp as one of its descendants.

Instead of featuring a bulb and reflector on the end of its spring-loaded articulated arm, this electricity-free light source has a decorative cup designed to hold and position a single candle. It brings a bit of nostalgic fun to your desk, although you’ll want to be careful about using it too close to your laptop — melted wax is tough stuff to get out of the cavities in modern electronics.

It’s just terribly sad that Suck UK is asking a ludicrous $US120 for it. For that much cash, you could buy a modern lamp, and just add on a nice candle holder… oh, forget it, this is fantastic, just take our money.
