Solid Black Stone High Candle Lantern – Ember Series in Cast stone by Donatas Zukauskas
Two objects in one. By day a tall stone-look vessel with the weight of something geological — dark, volcanic, unhurried. By night, with a candle inside, it pushes warm light through its textured skin and fills a room with depth. The taller body makes both the light and the surface read stronger.
Each one is shaped by hand from recycled paper pulp blended with organic cement, mineral pigments, and binders. Dried and finished, the composite ends up closer to wood than to stone — tough, faintly elastic, slow to split. The hollow core is the whole idea: it gathers and steers candlelight, letting the flame work the surface from inside. What passes for volcanic rock in daylight becomes a living thing once lit.
There’s no attempt to even things out — cracks, surface shifts, and unpredictable texture are exactly what’s wanted. Imperfection as a way to create beauty.
Each piece is handmade and one of a kind — the small differences in texture and surface are deliberate. Candle included. Built to order. Custom finishes and sizes on request. Trade pricing on request. Ships worldwide. Lead time 4–8 weeks.
Designed and built by Donatas Žukauskas — a Lithuanian sculptor and designer working between functional object-making and autonomous art, guided by one idea: imperfection as a way to create beauty.
