“Don’t be boring and follow trends, unless it’s trendy zigzag candlesticks”
Why zigzags you might ask? “I just think they have attitude and energy – both qualities I really admire in a person, so why not a candlestick?” he tells AnOther. Fair enough. Made in a small factory in Nottingham, these pieces are crafted from steel and are weighty; solid and satisfying, both in look and touch.– the Irish architect and furniture designer who was a pioneer of the Modern Movement – as someone who has had a particular impact on him.
“I used to buy these great one-off things at markets and think actually it’s a shame there’s only one of these,” he says. “So during the first lockdown, I decided to design a small collection inspired by things I found at markets. I got my friendto make the prototypes, I took them to a factory and started getting them made, although we are now on factory number three. Third time lucky, I hope!”
Does Gallacher have any interior design advice for us? “Don’t be boring and follow trends, unless it’s trendy zigzag candlesticks,” he says. “And I know it sounds obvious, but use colour – colour changes absolutely everything!”
