The Matterhorn is defined by its sharp, angular summit. Its elevation profile rises decisively before breaking into a distinct peak. The movement is abrupt and structural.
Carved into solid concrete, the contour creates a clear contrast between edge and mass. The cylindrical body contains this geometry without softening it. The object feels grounded and stable, while the line introduces vertical tension.
The raw texture of the concrete enhances the definition of the peak. The vessel is durable and weighty — intended to remain long after the candle insert is replaced. The flame is temporary; the form is not.
Matterhorn is contour reduced to clarity.
An architectural peak translated into object.
