Bakeware-Inspired Brilliance

Art is born of ingenuity and creativity - but is often inspired by the everyday. Familiar with the tradition of baking chapati flat bread from scratch, cottage industry artisans from India found creative potential in one of their culture’s most common pieces of bakeware. Hand-hewn and chiseled from a solid block of sustainable mango wood, the Chapati candle tray is filled with eco-friendly soy wax that anchors three wicks to fit its oval shape. Burn your candle periodically throughout the next several months and, when the holidays roll around, you’ll have the perfect tray to serve your favorite treats. (Available at sponsor VivaTerra for $49.)
