Naktis Candle Holders by J. Kent Martin for Cyan Design
$122.50 – $172.50
Description
The Naktis series of vessels gained its namesake from the Lithuanian word meaning “nights.” Perforations on a textured black surface bear resemblance to a backlit canopy of stars, revealing a gilded gold-washed interior. The Naktis series was designed to house a votive candle or battery light to create beams of light that dance around the core before beaming through uniform holes. The vessels are elevated by a pedestal vase that accentuates the rounded silhouettes. They are available in three sizes and are sold separately.

Since 2000, he has lived and worked in Springfield, Missouri as a product designer and importer of furniture, lighting and decorative accessories for many of the largest and most prominent home furnishings retailers and wholesalers in the United States.
His lifelong love of art, architecture and design certainly informs his graphic Abstract Expressionist paintings as does his extensive travel. However, his passions for equality and social justice are the real inspiration for his ever-evolving body of work.
His application of various media and techniques and how they react to each other is reflective of the beauty yet unpredictability of life.
