Candle holders usually come in boring and uncreative shapes, usually as a brass stick or a little cup with a handle. They may be practical but do nothing for the decor of your home or to show off your personality.

If you think you would not have been out of place living with the Adam’s Family, then this is the perfect candle holder for you. � Maxim Velčovský’s Little Joseph candle stick holder is a ceramic holder cast from the head of a toy doll. As if the idea of a candle dripping wax onto the blank face of a doll wasn’t Goth enough, Velčovský has come out with an exclusive edition of the Little Joseph candle holders. The new edition of Little Joseph, which features at Prague DesignBlok 2008, � has twisted features like dolls were made of wax that has melted giving their faces a tormented expression, straight out of a horror story.

Stick your candle into the hole at the top of Little Joseph’s head and watch his face become even more tortured than before. This would definitely be an appealing sight if you have a sadistic side to you.
