The Pelican candle holder draws upon the nostalgia of Singapore’s distinctive playground landscapes, thoughtfully adapted as a functional object for the modern home. Inspired by the familiar, cheerful outline of playground pelicans that once animated communal parks, this design translates public joy into an intimate, everyday ritual. Instead of serving as a sculpture for play, its beak is gently reimagined to cradle a candle, adding both purpose and charm to contemporary interiors.

Created to invoke fond associations with childhood gatherings and the creativity sparked in shared outdoor spaces, The Pelican combines playful form with everyday usefulness. The choice of either vivid colors or natural wood tones allows it to complement a variety of home environments, infusing each setting with the warmth of both illumination and memory. This piece aims to rekindle a sense of connection to local heritage, transforming a familiar figure from the playground into a poetic accent—bringing light not just to rooms, but to the stories that shape them.
