About Bloc

Bloc is made from four parts. A block of aluminum, a rod of colored acrylic, a copper screw and a copper sleeve.

The rod sits off-center. It gives the block a direction and works as the handle. The copper screw runs through the block and holds the rod in place.

The copper sleeve has no bottom. When wax hardens inside, you push it straight out instead of scraping. The copper darkens with use.

Bloc, in-Rules-Given

01 / 05  Meaning

A candle is a small daily ritual. Bloc is made to last as long as the habit.

Copper darkened after a year of use

02 / 05  Concept

One block, one rod, one screw, one sleeve. Nothing else is allowed.

The four parts of Bloc laid out

03 / 05  Method

The body is machined from solid aluminum. The copper screw runs through the block and locks the rod.

04 / 05  Form

The rod was moved off-center. The block gets a direction and a front.

05 / 05  Function

The rod is the handle. The sleeve has no bottom, so hardened wax is pushed straight out.
