Know before you buy
The candelabra features multiple hinges that allow you to extend it to its full 24-inch length or fold it into various abstract, curved, or angular shapes to suit your table or mantel space.
This piece is specifically designed to hold six standard taper candles. Because the candle holders are positioned at varying heights, it creates a tiered, multilevel lighting effect.
To preserve the polished Nambé Alloy finish, you should hand wash the candelabra with mild soap and dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals that could scratch or dull the metal.
Yes, the construction is designed to remain stable even when manipulated into different configurations. However, ensure the piece is placed on a flat, level surface to maintain balance when all six candles are lit.
The Cortina Hinged Candelabra was designed by the renowned industrial designer Karim Rashid in 2017, reflecting his signature focus on fluid, modern forms.
