Yeah I guess I do put them on a non flammable coaster when they're near the bottom.

I think it’s actually obscene. Both the price and the design. I keep thinking about it and it’s making me angry. I’m literally the most conspicuous of all the consumers and even if I was crazy rich I would not buy it.

£392 for that! You could pick up something similar for 50p at a car boot sale.

It’s really made my head explode too. I think it’s the sheer ugliness of it coupled with the pointlessnesss multiplied by the cost. It shouldn’t be legal.Pippedydeadeye wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 10:10 pm I think it’s actually obscene. Both the price and the design. I keep thinking about it and it’s making me angry.

I do have a plain black Bakelite thing to put single candles on, but you’d hardly know it was there. And it was a snip at £285 ;).

It’s like something awful I made with plasticraft in 1977.

Like that overdecorated majolica stuff that places like Studio catalogue used to have!
It’s like a normal midlife crisis only with more chandeliers and foreign languages.

Re: Sack the stylist!
Plus, they only give you one candle when it’s for two. The whole thing is so crap

Re: Sack the stylist!
OMG that is hideous! I was so horrified I looked it up on their website, and their styling suggestion is to sit this equally awful single candle holder on top of the tray (yours for another modest £392, of course…)

Re: Sack the stylist!
So the whole revolting ensemble comes in at just a touch under EIGHT HUNDRED POUNDS?
Are they putting crack in the candles over at JM?

They are just vile and a classic example of how money doesn't buy taste.

Re: Sack the stylist!
It's also completely at odds with their usual aesthetic, isn't it?

Things like this illustrate why the capitalism is dead and the human race is doomed!
