A candle sconce constructed with cotton rope, viscose casing, and brass. The brass part is made by a metal turning master who worked as a technician for more than 45 years. The rope is developed especially for the piece by WKND Lab. The meaning behind it follows the same as the Two Bees knot- making method. Traditionally, bees symbolise discipline and hard-working ethics, which turned into a meaning of wishing success in the future.
When Tiger Used to Smoke: Design Collection implies the idea of long-term sustainability by working with masters of each field who deserve much more recognition and incorporating modern furniture design with their traditional culture to make it more approachable.
