Doorknob Candlesticks
November 2nd, 2009

Time Out asked us to think up a new use for doorknobs. Always up for a challenge, we looked to find a new place where something that size, shape, and material would be completely functional. That’s where the candlestick idea came from. A brass doorknob, when turned vertical, is really pretty similar to an old fashioned candlestick. They really only need a few small changes!

At first glance, they look like something you’ve seen before – old-fashioned brass candlesticks. Then you realize that they’re doorknobs! Suddenly it’s not old-fashioned at all – but something new and fresh and clever.
