Kiki – Candlelit Christmas Tree
A twisting 3D printed cone that turns warm and gold the moment a flameless LED tealight sits underneath.
Every Christmas tree on the mantel looks the same until this one lights up. Kiki twists in a tight spiral from base to tip, so when a flameless LED tealight sits underneath, the glow climbs the ridges instead of pooling at the bottom. The effect reads more like a hand blown lantern than a plastic ornament.
Each tree is 3D printed with deliberately thin, almost see through walls, so the swirl ribs catch and scatter light rather than block it. Held up to a window in daylight it looks frosted and sculptural. Switch on the tealight after dark and the whole cone turns a warm honey gold, ridges and all.
Stand it on a mantelpiece, use it as a dinner table centrepiece, or line up a few different heights on a windowsill for a mini glowing forest, the same way we grouped ours across timber and stone benchtops for these photos.
You will need your own flameless LED tealight to sit underneath the cone. It is not included, and please, no real flames near the print. Printed to order here in Australia and usually ready within a couple of days, in your choice of colour.
