Get the Look: 65 Modern Candlesticks and Candelabra

For years I’ve adored the Lucite pretzel knot candlesticks by Dorothy Thorpe—a decade ago I had stashed a tear that features one prominently, and I still have it. I think it’s the ultimate modern candelabra. Lately I’ve been interested in brass candelabra with joints, as well as simple Danish candlesticks in teak or painted wood. There are tons of newer, contemporary ones too, like Muuto’s green raw wood candelabra and the chunky chrome or glass tubular pieces that refer back to the ’70s. Following up on yesterday’s Montage: 44 Rooms with Candlesticks & Candelabra, here’s a shopping guide for 65 modern candlesticks and modern candelabra.

Get the Look: 60 Modern Chandeliers and Pendants

If you’re contemplating a statement light fixture in your living room, as I am, hopefully yesterday’s Montage: 47 Living Rooms with Chandeliers & Pendants gave you some ideas. Turns out I made a spur-of-the-moment rug purchase on One King’s Lane yesterday (an incredible David Hicks runner for my stairs), so the chandelier will have to wait. In the meantime, no reason to stop looking, and to really start to think about what will work in terms of size, etc.

Boston interior designer Shellie Donovan left a helpful tip on the StyleCarrot Facebook page: “Remember, measure the drop and visualize the height. The scale has to be correct, too large or small will kill the best piece. You can get flush mount for lower ceilings. ”

Just In: Areaware Alarm Dock

areaware alarm dock jonas damon stylecarrot


You may not have saved your faux wood flip clock from childhood (I didn’t), but no matter. Areaware’s Alarm Dock by Jonas Damon ($40) is a simple block of solid beechwood let’s you adapt an iPhone or Touch to get a similar effect, while simultaneously charging the device.

Look carefully, it’s not actually a clock—it’s a dock with a horizontally placed iPhone running the flip clock app ($.99) The dock fits the iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4.

If you still prefer the real thing, try this retro bamboo flip clock ($51.90).
