Dining table combining the materials of black steel and diabase. Manufactured by artisan Kullaro.

A thin tabletop resting on a solid pillar – both of them carved out of stone. To balance the parts of stone, there’s a steel construction of four legs, connected to a circle. This construction provides the table with a design that is substantial and heavy, yet slim and elegant for your sight.

The space of the tabletop gives an expression of an elevated surface, obvious in its architectural interactions with the room its placed in, for you to use and conquer.

This artefact is made of diabase found in the southern parts of Sweden, which is the highest quality in the whole world.
The work put in to create this is something special in itself. This is to assure the quality and perfection that this item will contain when it’s finished. This rare type of stone is heavy and dark with great depth. The chosen finish is matte, yet interestingly reflective.

Measurements:
Ø 1200 / 1400 / 1600 H 720mm

About diabase:
“Diabase (Hyperite Diabase)- is an exclusive, beautiful and fascinating rock, as rare as it is difficult to access. It was formed during enormous volcanic eruptions from the earths´ inner core approximately 900-1500 million years ago, as molten magma was forced upwards towards the earths´ surface through narrow cracks in the parent rock.

Only in a few places did it reach the surface. The Diabase found and quarried in north-eastern Skåne/ Sweden is unique in its deep black colour, its density and durability. Diabase quarrying dominated this area and the lives of its people for over a hundred years, and has left huge, dramatic pits in the landscape.

The Diabase from Lönsboda and the quarries Duvhult, Hägghult and Gylsboda is considered to be the absolute premier in Diabase and the most beautiful around. Flexible, formable and according to us, simply wonderful.” – Kullaro

Like the foundation of a building – the stable base that supports the structure above – Artefact No 15 is a symbol of strength and simplicity. It is built on architectural principles, where every detail serves a purpose and all excess has been stripped away.
The candlestick stands as a solid, square block from which four slender rods rise, enclosing the candle to hold it in place. The thin rods ensure that the entire candle remains visible, displayed in its full form, just as it is. The shape is inspired by reinforcement bars protruding from a freshly cast concrete slab, capturing the essence of construction.

Unlike previous artefacts, which are handcrafted in small-scale production, Artefact No 15 is the first in the collection to explore an industrial manufacturing process. Produced in Shenzhen, this approach allows the piece to be more widely available while simultaneously reinforcing its conceptual foundation – a design rooted in construction and raw materiality. With this, Artefact No 15 introduces a new layer to the collection, demonstrating how industrial precision and thoughtful design can coexist.

Designed to visually enhance the atmospheric effect, Artefact No 15 fits seamlessly into any setting. It occupies little visual space or volume yet maintains a distinct presence. The polished steel surface reflects its surroundings, adding a subtle elegance, while the raw simplicity of the form accentuates the natural beauty of the candle.
Artefact No 15 works just as well on its own as in a group and can easily be combined with other candlesticks to create a richer lighting environment. On a set table, it becomes a discreet yet striking detail that allows the living flames to speak for themselves.

With its transparent silhouette, Artefact No 15 highlights the bare candle, uniting rawness with elegance. This is not just a candlestick – it is a tribute to the simple beauty of functional design and a step forward in expanding the Artefacts collection into new realms of production and accessibility.
