The Cube Brick has a hexagonal basic shape with joints that accentuate the cube’s contours. Interlinked in a wall surface a dazzling “spatial” effect is created.

The Line Brick Horizontal combined with the Line Brick Vertical gives the Pixel Brick, a stone which creates the image of extra small bricks. Special about this design is the possibility to create pixel-art images, text and more when so-called pixels are chopped off while assembling.

Erect1

Don't you just hate it when you never seem to have candles of the right size at hand when you need them? That problem is over now, for the Erect1 holds candles from 19 mm up to 24 mm and always straight up. No more bungling with matches, knives or whatever it takes to make your candle fit and get them straight. No! Just simply press the candle into the candleholder Erect1 and the cutting edges will cut right through the candle creating a solid fixture.
