This simple and modern white candlestick is speckled with mussel shell fragments and will be the ideal accessory for any stylish interior, whether placed on the mantlepiece, dining room table or windowsill. Hardwearing and sustainable, Rawr use recycled mussel shells in this candle holder, salvaged locally from the restaurant trade, thoroughly cleaned, dried and crushed before being mixed with jesmonite to create beautiful and unique homeware pieces. Each candlestick is hand-poured using a Jesmonite mix, a natural material made from gypsum, a sedimentary rock, in a low-energy manufacturing process. A lightweight, highly durable and long-lasting material that is perfect for homeware items. The candlestick is then sanded smooth and sealed to protect it from light stains and water.

Making use of a waste material that would otherwise be destined for landfill. Clare and Pippa first met when their sons formed a strong bond over dinosaurs at Pre School, hence the name RAWR! Realising they shared the same passions and after trading next to one another at various markets and art fairs, the duo decided to pair up and form Rawr. With a vision to only use recycled materials, they decided to make all of their homeware from recycled shells and leftover bags of cement. Local tradesmen have been very supportive and provided Clare and Pippa with any opened bags of cement that would otherwise have gone to landfill, allowing Rawr to produce a fully recycled range of homeware products.
