We're not hosting Thanksgiving this year but if we were, this would definitely be our centerpiece. Inspired by the Fibonacci curve found in nature, the Loop Candelabra is that rare collision of simplicity and elegance, interest and affordability...
Table Dressing: Loop Candelabra by black+blum
Loop is made by bending a piece of chromed steel tube to create two intertwined holders. A single Loop holds 2 standard candlesticks and would be lovely on a small round table. We have 3 Loops clustered together on top of our mantle (top picture) and think they're fantastic even without the candles. They also look great on our white Chilewich Pressed Vinyl Dots runner, making for an easy, simple yet sophisticated table dressing.
Loop looks great with 1, 2 or 10 in a cluster, even without candles. Its affordable at $28 per Loop but could be quite luxurious in multiples. It goes well with both traditional and modern tables and flirts the line between minimalism and ornamentation. At the very least its sure to generate some table talk.
Loop Candelabra is available at MoMA and direct from black+blum for $28. It also comes in luxe editions of silver ($96) and gold plated brass ($112).

I bought one of these for my boss for christmas. I got it at the Indianapolis Museum of Art for $28. I went shopping at another store downtown that day and they were selling the same one for $36... glad i saw at the IMA first.
It looks great in person, although she's just getting the one, i like it with just the 2 candles..
The IMA had a great display of them out and they just caught my eye. Makes me want one for our place. They look fantastic in the photos above.

I bought two and it didn't seem big enough - maybe my dining table was too big but I eventually sold mine on craigslist or ebay (I forget) and I'm looking for something bigger.

I don't generally go with candelabra, but I really like these.

What's that tree shadow wall "treatment" in the first picture?

Kayla here -
The trees atop our mantle are actually a Marimekko fabric (http://kiitosmarimekko.stores.yahoo.net/tuuli185clay.html) which was stretched to make an upholstered headboard for my last apartment. It has now been repurposed as our mantle decor. Maybe we'll do a post about it :-)
