designed by the italian designer gabriele pezzini, plag in is one of a series of products embodying their creator’s conception of the essence of the things that surround us. by questioning the habits and codes with which we identify our lives, he defies the logic of functionality and challenges our very perception of objects. in plag in, we are instinctively led to associate the light of the candle and the wall plug with electricity, but this is merely a virtual association, born of logic, rather than reality.
hence, when the plug’s primary function is removed, its connotations dissolve and it turns into a supporting stand for the candlestick.
plag in is made of self-extinguishing nylon and is housed in a metal case. both materials have technical advantages and guarantee the safety of a burning flame.
