Ashroot Cradle – Charred Wood Candle Base

With burnt tones and deep grooves, Ashroot Cradle celebrates the story of fire—rugged, meditative, and grounded. A scorched-and-polished wood form holds a quiet dish for flame, so the candle sits in contrast-rich harmony: ember-dark base, bright light above.

Where It Comes From

Ashroot Cradle begins as shoreline wood recovered along Lake Constance. Ashroot Cradle is shaped by flame and finished by hand. The making follows what the material offers—carbon-darkened valleys, resinous highlights, knots like constellations—then stops before the fire’s story is overworked. The result feels discovered rather than manufactured.

Why It Matters

Fire reveals structure; handwork reveals intent. Ashroot Cradle pairs the two, turning a simple candle into a small ritual—material truth, quiet presence, nothing superfluous.

For Those Who See Beauty in the Untamed

At Arbor Design, every object is a conversation between nature and maker. No two are alike. No process is rushed. Every piece is made once, with intention—and then never again. By day, a sculptural object with ember-rich texture; by night, a gentle pool of candlelight riding above a darkened base. Place it where you pause—on a mantel, a table, or a shelf—and let the contrast set the mood.
