Following a minimalist approach does not necessarily mean turning a design into an abstract form that loses its identification with the item and is not rooted in the public imagination. It is rather, as I wrote about the "Knifeforkspoon" cutlery, that minimalism is orientated towards an attempt to turn back towards the "ultimate essence" of what an object is, stripping it of stylistic connotations that are too obvious or too historical. The design of the "Candlestick family" demonstrates this well: its form evokes the corolla of a flower at the base and at the neck of the candlestick. At the neck an open corolla collects the molten wax while at the base an overturned corolla can hold matches.
