Dreki is one fierce looking dragon. But watch out! He has a fire in his belly! Melt him before he melts you!
These unique candles by Icelandic designer Thorunn Arnadottir are the result of thinking about the way people use candles: "One day I saw the body of a Santa Claus shaped candle with his head melted away. I wondered if I could elevate this ritual sacrifice into a true theatre of the macabre in wax". She came up with the idea of embedding a metal skeleton within a cat shaped candle, and the idea grew from there.

Exploring everyday objects from a new perspective
Icelandic designer Thorunn Arnadottir spends her days figuring out how to turn the mundane into the unexpected, gorgeous, thought provoking, and preposterously fun. Could it be Iceland? Maybe endlessly bumping into the same people sends the imagination into uncharted territory.
