Fish Candleholder in Black Powder Coat

Creator: Animate Objects
Offered by: ADORNO Design

Description
As Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu beautifully mentioned in his poem ‘The Saga of Istanbul’:

“Say Istanbul and a seagull comes to mind,
Half silver and half foam,
half fish and half bird.
When I say Istanbul, I think of fairy tale, once upon a time.”

The Istanbul collection, two candle holders in the shape of a bird and a fish, pays tribute to the designer’s hometown since both animals are significant symbols in daily life as well as in art, literature, and history when thinking of Turkish culture.
With their ascending and descending positions, they are imagined coming together to bring peace as the bird belongs to the sky and the fish to the sea.

Made of laser-cut iron pieces welded together inspired by the clean lines of Brutalist architecture, these pieces of sculptural furniture transform into theatrical pieces by having beautiful silhouettes as light falls on them.

Recommended for indoor use only.

Animate Objects aims to reimagine furniture and bring a fresh new perspective to the design scene by merging different fields of art. The brand strives for creating theatrical environments with its statement pieces that tell visual stories while functioning as furniture. A chair is more than a chair, and an interior can be seen as more than a living space. Animate Objects invites you to think out of the box and create an authentic place by offering a thoughtfully curated décor and collectible furniture. All products are made of honest natural materials carefully handcrafted in Istanbul, Turkey by the most experienced local artisans from varied fields. The brand’s main focus is to deliver soulful pieces to create animated interiors. Each piece is limited edition and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Zeynep Satık, founder and designer of Animate Objects, graduated from Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design (London /UK) with the degree of Performance Design and Practice. During the time, she worked with several professionals from varied industries such as fashion, advertisement, and film. Returning to her home country, Turkey, she created a multidisciplinary design agency where she gained further experience. Designing sets and stages for fashion week, tv talk shows, campaign & editorial shoots reinforced her visual language and broadened her perspective. Zeynep’s desire to establish dialogues between space, color, and form resulted in founding Animate Objects. By doing so, she discovered a new way of telling stories via objects: creating a sense of persona for the furniture, composing animated interiors, and offering eclectic yet functional art objects for your environment.
