Design: Nimble
Materials: Silicone Rubber & Brass
Designer: Dominic D'Andrea & Tram Pham
"Nimble is a modern candleholder with a clever twist. The form gently slopes away from the center allowing candle wax to pool and dry inside the base. The form is made of flexible plastic and when twisted, the candle wax cracks off, for easy cleanup."
"The candle holder comes in four colors: berry, mint, mustard and white. The candle sits in a brass core which can withstand extreme heat and provides structure. A handle protects your hands from the flame and allows for easy mobility from room to room."

These are lovely and so practical. It's a nightmare getting wax off of things.
I love this! Something classic and old-fashioned made modern and...awesome. I love the colors! I want one of each!
Does the handle bend when you lift the candle with it?
I like that pretty retro blue.
I love the colours and the whole look and the practicality!
Wow. I kind of love this. Best design of the whole competition so far. Takes new materials to solve an old problem, and yet is classical and modern, and attractive.
Love this! I want to buy one now ;(
the demo is good, the stability is great, but the handle does not seem to have the leverage needed, so problem from colonial times not solved here.
Sweet. I want one!
my wife and i like using candles in the bedroom (if you know what I mean) so we'll definitely be getting lots of these in light of the easy cleanup.
I love candles, I hate candle wax. this is genius. I'd give this five stars if I could.
I appreciate that they put a metal piece in to hold the candle and give the whole thing some rigidity. Well thought-out.
Love this design, it's definitely something I would buy. Also appreciate the clever name :) Jack be nimble!
