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.

They asked us to design an object to illustrate the opening page of their “Key” real estate section.

The theme they gave us to work with was “rebirth to renewal” – so our idea was to make a key rising up out of a pool of liquid.

After coming up with the concept, we designed the piece in Solidworks and had a vacuum-metalized rapid prototype made.

We were challenged to design and make a set of salt and pepper shakers, all in one day! How was it possible? We took care of the design end, and the shakers were made by awesome 3-D printing technology from MakerBot. We’re really excited how it turned out!
