Brutalist ceramic candle holder sculpture with a lit candle inside, dark clay with white glaze.

Generate 9 concept designs of a hand-built ceramic candle holder made using slab technique. The form is composed of three interlocking modular parts that can be assembled into a single vertical sculpture. The overall height is 40 cm, with a base around 20 cm wide and a top section around 10 cm wide. The material is dark stoneware clay, fired at low temperature, and the surface is glazed with a crusty, chalky white glaze that emphasizes texture and raw materiality. Design should draw inspiration from Brutalist and Bauhaus movements — bold, geometric, raw, and architectural. The candle is placed inside the structure, and candlelight must be visible through carefully placed holes or cutouts in the ceramic walls, evoking mystery and warmth. Include textures showing hand-built, slab-constructed character with visible seams, edges, and asymmetrical rhythm. Focus on sculptural presence and contrast between rough surfaces and subtle geometry. Present 9 variations with different silhouette compositions and cutout placements. See more
