Originally conceived as a candelabra, Agnes takes its inspiration from the fictional heroine of the same name, a worker in the world's oldest profession during the 1849 California Gold Rush. The modular system would allow Agnes easy setup in her makeshift "workspace." In this version, glowing glass tubes replace the candles. Articulated joints allow the glass to be arranged in a multitude of ways.
The adjustable modular design lets me reconfigure it whenever I want, which is way more versatile than I expected from something that started as a candelabra. Every time someone visits, they end up asking about the Gold Rush backstory behind it.
The flame spreads wider than I expected for a candelabra this size, and the way it catches the light off the base makes the whole room feel warmer. Haven’t lit it every night, but every time I do, I’m glad I splurged on it.
Came for the unusual backstory, stayed for how the modules actually click together with a satisfying precision that makes rearranging it almost addictive. I've already swapped the pieces around three times this week and it looks completely different each way.
