The Tom Dixon Spin Mini Candelabra is a cast-iron tabletop candelabra designed to function as a kinetic centerpiece, holding four tea lights or taper candles on arms that can be repositioned horizontally to create varied arrangements. It combines the visual language of dockside cranes and 1950s mobiles, resulting in an industrial yet balanced form. Dimensions are 13.5 inches (34 cm) in height, 15.25 inches (38.5 cm) in length, and 4 inches (10.5 cm) in depth; as a handmade item, minor variations may occur.

Product Insights

A one-of-a-kind cast-iron candelabra from Tom Dixon, each piece uniquely textured from single-use sand casting. Its four arms rotate 360° with a weighty, planted feel (5.7 lb), modeled on Fairbairn's 1850 dock crane and referencing Calder's mobiles, to adjust from a 15.25-inch spread to a tight 4-inch cluster. Deep cast-iron cups hold tea lights and taper candles, containing wax without a tray. Available in putty, indigo, or black with a matte powder-coated finish; resists flaking but may chip on hard impact and should avoid sunlight to prevent fading. A collectible design rooted in Dixon's salvage welding pedigree, held by MoMA, V&A, and Pompidou.

Arm adjustability
Each arm rotates 360°, allowing configurations from a 15.2-inch spread to a 4-inch cluster.
Sculptural presence
A 13.4-inch cast-iron candelabra with rotating arms that creates an interactive silhouette whether lit or unlit.
Craftsmanship

Color options

Uses

Rearrange the arms to suit your table

For a table centrepiece you can keep reshaping, the Spin Mini Candelabra's four arms swing on their own axis and move horizontally into different positions. Fan the arms wide for a long table or tuck them tight into a compact cluster, and its weight keeps it feeling planted as you turn them. Tom Dixon describes the design intent as infinite configurations, with the rotating arms creating arrangements of light and shadow.[2,3,4,6]

A sculptural centerpiece for your table

Standing 13.4 inches tall on a freestanding conical base, this candelabra is designed to read as sculptural even when unlit, making it a decorative tabletop piece in its own right. Its compact footprint suits layering with other decorative objects or displaying solo. Reviewers note it feels weighty and planted rather than delicate when you turn its arms.[2,5,7]

Indoor candlelight for four tea lights or tapers

This mini candelabra holds four tea lights or taper candles at once, making it a way to set candlelit mood lighting on a table or shelf indoors. Its deep, stable cups are designed to keep wax contained and hold flames up off the table surface. Note it is intended for indoor use only.[2,6]

Spin Mini Candelabra: Choose this if you want a sculptural, kinetic centerpiece: its four arms swing on their own axis so you can fan them wide for a long table or tuck them tight, and it holds four tea lights or taper candles. Made of sand-cast solid cast iron in a powder-coated matte black finish, it stands about 13.5 inches tall and spans roughly 15.25 inches long by 4 inches deep, with a weight of 5.7 pounds that one source describes as feeling planted when you turn the arms. Note it is for indoor use only, and as a handmade product it may show variations between units.[1,2,4,6]Putty Bell Portable Led Lamp: Choose this if you want a cordless, rechargeable table lamp you can move around indoors: it charges via the included USB cable in 5 hours and runs for up to 9 hours of light. Its minimalist dome design in a putty/white finish stands 11 inches tall with a 7.5-inch diameter, and light intensity is adjustable with a tactile dimmer on the soft white 3000 K LED fitting. Note that it is rated for indoor use only, and the 9-hour figure is a maximum rather than a guaranteed runtime.[8,9,10]Bell Portable Gold Led Lamp: Choose this if you want a cordless, rechargeable accent lamp with a mirrored polished-gold dome inspired by vintage car bumpers that reflects its surroundings and casts a soft, downward 3000K glow (160 lumens, over 90 CRI) with three dimming levels. It suits small-scale table or mood lighting at 11 inches (28 cm) tall and 7.5 inches (19 cm) in diameter, recharging in 5 hours via the included USB cable for roughly 7 to 9 hours of light. Note that while some retailers describe it as IP44 rated and suitable for outdoors, the merchant listing states it is for indoor use only.[11,12,13,14]
