WAX ON, WAX OFF
Organic process takes on a whole new meaning for The Haas Brothers,
who created the Hematite candles for our latest Cultured Commission.
"These candles are based off a
set of bronze vases that we
made—actually the first pieces
we ever showed at R & Company.
We were on a bondage, leather,
fetish kind of kick at the time.
Now in hindsight, that's kind of
what led us to these forms. It's
kind of an intestinal look."
—Nikolai and Simon Haas
