KiBiSi's Weight Here candle holders for Menu are made from Polystone, a mixture of plastic resin and powdered stone often used in kitchen countertops.

Cast iron rings separate the candles from the Polystone bases

The collection comprises a thin candle holder and candelabra plus a chunky candle holder and candelabra.

The objects are intended to reference the shapes of traditional chamber candlesticks and candelabras, according to KiBiSi.

Other candle holders we've featured on Dezeen include one that looks like a half-finished sketch and another set with handy inner compartments – see all candle holders on Dezeen.

We've published lots of products by KiBiSi, including magnetic bike lights that turn on when snapped together and a desk that can be raised and lowered by cranking a handle – see all design by KiBiSi.

Here's some more information from KiBiSi:

Weight Here is a family of candle holders featuring distinct historic references to the iconic typology of chamber candlesticks and candelabras. The designs revisit the standard candlestick appearance and dimensions, and are natural extensions of these made to fit today’s candles.

Weight Here comes in four versions: S and M for ordinary candles and L and XL for block candles. The cast iron parts acknowledge historic artisanal techniques and the Polystone references KiBiSi’s link to modern architecture. These materials provide the candlesticks with a grounded feel and a solid no-nonsense appearance.

Frederik Roijé's Wall of Flame candle holders come in two sizes and four colours.

They're made in the Netherlands from powder-coated steel tubes.

"[It's] a new point of view for candles in a modern interior, inspired by the archetype," Roijé told Dezeen.

The design follows Walk of Flames and Rise of Flames, a candelabra and chandelier by Roijé that we featured previously on Dezeen.

Other projects by Roijé we've featured on Dezeen include a table with three levels inspired by tiered rice fields and a multi-storey house for chickens.

We've featured lots of candle holders on Dezeen, including one that looks like a half-finished sketch of a candle holder and another set made of felt and inspired by the shapes of the Istanbul skyline.

Each object in the Kishu collection is carefully weighted at its base to support its lopsided structure. "I worked for a long time to get the balance just right," Selway told Dezeen.

The delicate pieces are made from oxidised copper, and the vase also has a shallow silver dish for holding water.

The bottles and bowls are purely decorative, but the candle holder and the vase can be used as shown.

Selway trained as a silversmith and jeweller at Camberwell College of Arts in London and Bishopsland near Reading, and has also worked making props and building sets for theatre and film.

Other unusual candle holders we've featured on Dezeen include one with a sandpaper base for striking matches and a series of stackable candle holders made from copper, steel and lumps of concrete.

At Interieur 2012 we also reported on a concept car by Ross Lovegrove that invites a primitive emotional response and a table, lamp and bookshelf made from concrete by Matali Crasset – see all our stories about Interieur 2012.

Product news: these candle holders by French designer Marie Dessuant come with handy inner compartments and were designed for British furniture brand Another Country.

Launched at the London Design Festival last month, each candle holder has a ceramic lid that can be removed to allow small objects to be stored in the base.

The base is made from turned oak and comes in three different sizes, each with a handle that protrudes from one side.
