The matte surface of the slim ZW.02 candle holder is silky soft. At 450 grams, the elegant object is surprisingly heavy and stable. In the car, the steel axle sleeve secures the wheel bearing. This is powder-coated and fitted with a wooden top made of oak and a metal grommet.

We convert the massive axle screw, which actually attaches the wheel bearing in the car, into a coat rack. It is powder-coated by hand and finished with an oak wood element.

The hand-made ZW.06 key ring has a unique feel that makes it easier to find the key in your pocket. In cars, such a seat piping is the narrow, round decorative seam around the car seats.
