Pillars Candle & Companion Dish
This sculptural double wicked candle and dish were designed in reference to motifs characteristic of Highlow Jewelry. Nodding to the use of warm white tones and glass shapes from previous collections, this candle bridges Highlow Jewelry into homewares, a first for designer Sonya Gallardo. Place this candle in the center of your dining table, or rest it as an art object on your bookshelf.
The Companion Dish was designed to pair with the candle, its shape complimenting the pillars. Cut from locally made glass and finished in our studio kiln.

About the Design
The idea for the shape and color of the candle was drawn from former jewelry collections. I started with tiny clay sketches, then moved onto paper, cutting and making 3d models in my dining room that were to scale. Often my boyfriend, who I now work at home with everyday, would give me feedback and ideas. I realized that this casual collaboration with my partner had given meaning to the design. The shape of two paired pillars is reminiscent of two matched individuals, glowing and connected.
About the Collaboration
When Julie of Aacute approached me with the idea of designing a candle, I was so excited to work with her. Knowing Julie’s curation for her shop, I knew this would be a fun project. Our web-ship started years ago on Instagram when we were both making jewelry and bonded over our processes and materials. Doing this project with Julie feels so serendipitous. Although we’ve never met in person, it flowed so effortlessly.
