OTTO
OTTO IS A CANDLE HOLDER. THE INSPIRATION WAS ANTIQUE OTTOMAN CANDLE HOLDERS AND THEIR UNIQUE SHAPES. THE BOTTOM PART IS WIDER THEN THE UPPER. AS A DESIGN APPROACH IT'S SOMETHING HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL BECAUSE OF STABILITY ISSUES. THIS FUNCTION ALSO GIVES ITS UNIQUE CHARACTER AND DESIGN LANGUAGE. I WANTED TO TRANSLATE THIS HIGHLY ORNAMENTED AND FUNCTIONAL OBJECT TO A SIMPLE PRODUCT WITH A TRANSPARENCY WHICH WILL NOT SURPASS THE CANDLE LIGHT WITH ITS MASS.
