There’s something quietly majestic about a lit taper standing tall-its flame dancing, its shadow stretching long across walls. In the world of table design and ambient light, candle stands are more than holders: they are sculptures that elevate even the simplest glow. At Glass Forest, candle stands feel like architecture in glass-silent pillars of light and intention.
Though the website shows many votive holders, it’s the larger candle stands-the ones meant for tall tapers and pillars-that carry weight in ceremony. Here are some standout pieces:
Twilight Candle Stand, Tall
Crafted in borosilicate glass shaded in twilight tones, this tall stand (Ht 255 mm, Dia 45 mm) exudes minimalist elegance. It arrives as a set of two with soy wax candles, ready to cast warm ambiance wherever you place them.
Twilight Candle Stand, Tapered
The shorter sibling in the Twilight line, this taper model (Ht 200 mm, Dia 35 mm) echoes the same clean lines and sculptural poise.
Emerald Candle Stand
This is a dramatic silhouette. With emerald elements at both top and base, paired with a crisp white stem, the form becomes cinematic. Designed for slim candles, the stand’s geometry lets light pass through and carve space with shadow.
Emerald Pillar Candle Stand (Long)
For broader candles, this version anchors the flame with a sturdy base in emerald and rises with a white stem. Balanced and bold, it embodies Art Deco harmony in a compact, elegant form.
Kanak Candle Stand – Yellow and Amber Pillar
The Kanak stands channel tradition and festivity. The yellow version is inspired by tiered brass lamps from South India, designed in pairs for symmetry at entrances or altars. The amber pillar variant brings warmth and auspicious glow, perfect for sacred corners or celebratory settings.
Design That Speaks Flame
What unites these candle stands is not just function, but poetry. Each one is hand-blown in borosilicate glass, so variations in color and texture tell the story of the artisan’s touch. The transparency and faceting mean candlelight doesn’t just sit-it travels. Flame becomes movement. Shadows become sculpture.
The forms reflect careful intention. The Emerald stands fuse color with geometry: emerald glass framing white stems, recalling vintage cut glass and the bold clarity of Art Deco. Meanwhile, Kanak stands borrow from culture: tiered brass forms reinterpreted in glass, marrying ritual and modern aesthetic.
Twilight’s stands operate on subtlety: muted shades, minimalist volume. They recede, letting the flame-or your surroundings-take center stage.
These are not candle stands to hide. They deserve a feast table, a quiet altar, or a windowsill at dusk.
How to Let Them SingPair heights. A tall and taper stand together gives rhythm; an Emerald Pillar beside a Kanak stand sets contrast.
-
Use bold tapers. Choose rich colors or metallics-gold, deep green, rust-to let the glass glow against them.
-
Frame with color. Place them amidst foliage, soft fabrics, or muted stone. Let the flame cast subtle narratives across textures.
-
Let them breathe. Don’t clutter. A single stand on a side table can command more attention than many on a crowded shelf.
In glass, flame, and design, these stands are bridges: from function to poetry, from home to ritual. When you light one, you’re not just casting light-you’re invoking presence. The candle stands of Glass Forest ask only that you give them space-and watch as ordinary evenings become luminous.
