Leave out the frippery at Christmas

Translation: machine translated
Are you tempted to buy kitschy decorations in the run-up to Christmas that end up in the cellar again afterwards? I know that only too well. That's why I opt for chichi, which is a real mood booster all year round.
Lush decorations such as reindeer, glittering stars, tinsel and gnomes outside my own four walls get me in the mood for the coming Advent season, but at home it can be a little less. Because I don't want any more dust catchers. A wreath without four risky candles is the highest of (Advent) feelings for me. Otherwise, my (numerous) lanterns and lanterns are enough to set the mood all year round. After all, winter continues even after the umpteenth X-Mas party and atmospheric lighting ensures a cosy feeling at all times.
The designers who create for the Scandinavian brand "Menu", based in Copenhagen, seem to have a similar view. They have a penchant for purism and rely on minimalist, geometric shapes for their candle holders, for example. They are particularly fond of harmonious curves.
"Pov" for the wall
The "Pov" series, designed by "Note Design Studio", consists of oval, circular or rectangular wall holders. They are suitable for either tea lights or oblong candles. Depending on the angle from which you look at them, "Pov" either draws a flat picture or is clearly recognisable as a three-dimensional object. The candle holders are effective both individually and together and form a graphic mural. They are available in brass in gold, silver and in a muted, powder-coated version in white or black. Combine different colours and sizes with each other when you choose "Pov".
"Balance" for any storage surface
The designer Frederik Alexander Werner takes us back in time with his design for "Menu". He reinterprets the chandeliers that were used to move from A to B in times before electricity. He gives them a modern touch by focussing on the shape of a hollow circle for the handle. For the material, he opted for brass, which appears matt in a grey tone and shines golden at the edges.
