Sheath Tealight Holders
The Sheath Tealight Holders utilise the reflectivity of soid brass to create a warm atmospheric glow. They are designed to suit a standard tealight.
Sheath Tealights are manufactured in small batches so slight variations will occur from piece to piece. Production marks may include slight pour ripples or surface pitting. They will arrive with a bright finish but will oxidise and darken over time to reveal a distinctive patina. Simply use a metal polish to restore a like-new finish.

Studio Henry Wilson
I am a designer living and working in Sydney. I studied at the Australian National University School of Art in Canberra, graduating with first class honours in visual arts, specialising in woodwork. During my time at ANU I went on exchange to Rhode Island School of Design. I then moved to Europe to do my Masters at the Design Academy Eindhoven before returning to Sydney to set up my own studio in 2012.
I design furniture, lighting, accessories and components, working together with a range of suppliers and manufacturers. In particular, I have built a close relationship with a local foundry for cast elements in bronze and aluminium. I sell my work directly and in a number of design showrooms around the world. In addition, I have designed the interior for two Aesop stores in Sydney.
My work combines a rational, democratic utility with an element of sculptural expression. There is a clear form and function in my products, but it’s important they also have feeling. I am interested in the awkward beauty that comes from something made by hand. I like to explore how imperfection can be introduced into an industrial process, to make something at scale that retains a sense of individual charm.
During my time in Europe I was fascinated by the flea markets in the Netherlands and Germany. Discovering well-made things from the past was like tracing ancestors of contemporary design. I talk about the anthropology of design, recognising that it has a linear narrative and that ideas today are developments of those that have come before. I understand design to be an evolutionary process of refining, learning and improving. Well-made things last. I believe this is one of the simpler forms of sustainability that we can hope to achieve as designers today.
