Kente Candlestick, Turquoise

These geometric candlesticks from Silo Studio are inspired by vintage Kente cloths from West Africa. Hand thrown and hand painted by artisans in Italy, they make the perfect table accompaniment for hosting, or for your mantlepiece to create an ambient atmosphere. 

Silo Studio is a design studio founded by artist and designer Hannah Watts. The studio consists of artwork, homewares and musings by the designer. Having travelled to various countries within Africa, Hannah’s main inspiration comes from these places - the culture, the energy, the colours and of course the huge expanse of craftsmanship.

With a strong interest in hand made craft everything has either been created in house, or designed by Hannah and made by specialist artisans. Silo Studio is proud to work with various small, family run makers, women’s collectives and individual artisans from around the world to support both them and their craft. Their priority is quality, using the same techniques these artisans’ ancestors have passed down to them.

The studio takes into consideration its environmental impact. We have tried wherever possible to minimise our waste, producing only small runs and using responsible materials.
