Francis Cayouette says: "Arts and crafts must have recognisability and a history. I have always been fascinated by the Nordic tradition of lighting and cosiness from living flames and it was an obvious choice to work with the candlestick. Cast iron is an exciting raw material that has been used for many years. It is palpable and adds contours. The Heima candlestick is simple and does not steal the show, but instead makes room for its actual function, namely living flame."
