Description
The Constantin candlesticks by Tatiana Queiroz are named after the Romanian sculptor Constantin Brâncusi, one of the most influential sculptors of the twentieth century. Brâncusi sculpted the essence of things and therefore often integrated geometry in his art.
Tatiana Queiroz, intrigued and inspired by the pioneer of modernism, builds her Constantin candlesticks by milling soapstone into geometric shapes.
Soapstone is a naturally porous stone that should not to be used with water or any other liquid. The colour of soapstone can vary from a gentle beige to bright blue and silvery grey.

ABOUT the designer
Tatiana Queiroz
Tatiana Queiroz is a Brazilian designer based in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. She obtained her degree at the Guignard University of Fine Arts in Minas Gerais and studied jewellery at the prestigious Escola Massana in Barcelona. Eventually, Tatiana founded her own design studio TAAT, where she creates jewellery and design objects. For Gardeco, Queiroz eloquently translates soapstone, a local raw material, into a universal, timeless and contemporary design language. Her pieces combine the rough and the feminine, volume and lightness. She explores the crossroads between object design and sculpture, keeping in mind the purity of form and the balance of lines.
