FAQs
What is the 'Officina' collection?
The 'Officina' collection is a series of furniture and accessories designed by Konstantin Grcic for Magis, characterized by its use of forged iron and traditional craftsmanship.
Are the imperfections on the iron normal?
Yes, the slight imperfections are a natural characteristic of the forging process using raw materials and contribute to the unique, artisanal appeal of the candlestick.
What size candles can I use?
The candlestick is designed for standard taper or pillar candles. Ensure the candle fits snugly and safely within the holder.
Is this candlestick suitable for outdoor use?
This candlestick is designed for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements may cause damage to the iron finish.
How should I maintain the black iron finish?
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth for regular dusting. Use a slightly damp cloth for marks and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically, a specific iron polish can be used to maintain its appearance.
What are the dimensions of the low candlestick?
Please refer to the product specifications for exact dimensions, as they can vary slightly but are designed to be a 'low' profile.
Troubleshooting
Candlestick appears wobbly
Ensure the candlestick is placed on a perfectly flat and level surface. Check the round base for any debris or unevenness that might be causing instability.
Iron finish shows signs of rust
This can occur with prolonged exposure to moisture. Gently clean the rusted area with a fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool, then apply a suitable iron-safe metal polish or wax to protect the surface. Ensure the item is kept in a dry environment.
Candle does not fit securely
Ensure you are using a standard-sized candle. If the holder is slightly loose, you can use a small amount of candle putty or wax to secure the candle in place.
