About the Item

Set Of 2 Acantha Candle Holders in Black Brazilian Stone by Otavio Motta Signed, limited edition Dimensions: D 65 x W 15 x H 30 cm. Stone base: approx. 12–15 cm Weight: approx. 5 kg Materials: Black Brazilian natural stone, such as black tourmaline, hematite or another selected stone; brass stem; brass candle holder. Acantha is a sculptural candle holder conceived from the tension between grounding and impulse. Its black Brazilian natural stone base acts as a nucleus of weight and presence, while the brass stem projects laterally in a restrained yet incisive gesture, like a mineralized spark or a thorn released into space. The name Acantha evokes the idea of thorn, point and acute force, bringing to the piece a character that is at once classical and sharp. The composition begins with a dense, dark and raw material from which a metallic line emerges, condensing energy and direction. There is a constant relation between stability and projection, mass and launch, mineral silence and formal tension. Produced in a predominantly handcrafted process, Acantha values the unrepeatable singularity of natural stone. Depending on the selected material, each base may vary subtly in shape and proportion, reinforcing the unique character of every editioned example. Signed and produced in limited edition, Acantha stands between functional object and collectible design with a ritual presence. Otávio Motta is a Brazilian designer and artist whose practice lies between collectible design, sculpture, and authorial furniture. His work emerges from a direct investigation of material — wood, metal, stone, fibers, paper, and crystal — treated not merely as a constructive resource, but as a structure of presence, tension, and permanence. Over time, he has developed a distinct language in which structural rigor, sculptural force, and material research bring together object, furniture, and functional sculpture in pieces of strong authorial character. His work is built through an ongoing practice of drawing, fabrication, and material experimentation, grounded in an understanding of the object not as a decorative element, but as a form of presence and symbolic value. His pieces are produced through predominantly handcrafted processes, often carried out directly by the artist from design to fabrication. Brazilian stones, brass, steel, noble Brazilian woods, and manually formed elements frequently appear in works and objects that articulate material density, constructive precision, and luminous tension. Across unique pieces and limited series, his work asserts itself as authorial design with a collectible vocation.
