Born in Sweden Stumpastaken Candle Holder for 9 Candles 22.5 × 22.5 cm recycled aluminum

The Stumpastaken Small is the smaller version of the design classic created by Jonas Torstensson in 1991. It holds nine candles and makes even short candle stubs usable again.

• Dimensions: 22.5 × 22.5 × 4 cm
• For: 9 candles
• Material: 100% recycled aluminum
• Design: Jonas Torstensson
• Production: Made in Sweden

Use candle stubs down to the very end

Instead of throwing away short candle stubs, place them in the Stumpastaken and let them burn down completely. The wax is collected by the solid aluminum holder.

Cleaning in the oven

Avoid cleaning untreated aluminum with water if possible. Remove loose wax residue, place the candle holder upside down and slightly raised on parchment paper, and put it in the oven at 60 °C for about 20 minutes. The liquid wax will drip onto the paper. Remove using oven mitts and wipe clean with paper towels.

Born in Sweden – Design with function

Born in Sweden works with various designers on products that combine a clear form with a concrete function. This approach is precisely what is decisive for my range: I consciously carry only a small selection from the brand – those products where the idea goes beyond pure design for me.

My assessment

For me, Small is probably the most practical size of the Stumpastaken for everyday use: large enough for a real group of candles, yet still compact enough for a table or sideboard. Most of all, I am convinced that the idea of sustainability does not seem forced – it is embedded directly in the material and function.
