Footnote
Born out of a design brief for the Goldsmiths’ Craftsmanship and Design Awards, Steven Ottewill created the interlocking style. This led to his first ever commission as a young Silversmith at the age of 20 years when he created this set of nine candleholders. So popular was the organic shape, a range developed and now incorporates smaller tea-light holders, napkin rings and salt and pepper. The flowing nature of the design is intended to sit beautifully on any table and to be a delight to arrange.
