Candles have officially come back into fashion. Artisan and designer Kevin Reilly, has gone back to basics, using candle wax to produce his new line of lamps, evoking both a modern and traditional style.

Carving out the inside of each candle and inserting a special heat-resistant bulb, Reilly is able to make permanently burning sources of soft light. The distinctive wax pillars are embedded with unique electrical fittings enabling each fixture to emit a warm glow throughout the day or night.

The design has scope and has taken on different forms. Reilly has evolved the original model into an elegant collection of chandeliers, sconces, floor lamps, table lamps, and outdoor lighting. Now that special glow can be fitted to different rooms in the home or even to the garden outside.

Reilly has said himself that,"A light during the day needs to be minimal and sculptural, but at night it should be magical." This is exactly the transformation his works go through when the sun goes down.

Through their perfect blend of the old and the new, the modernly convenient and the romantically decorative, these are truly candles for the twenty-first century.
