    I kind of get what you mean, but I feel like it's actually a fairly informational title, that gives you all the context clues needed to understand what's going on: The pieces name, it's designer, the fact that it's the newest entry in a yearly tradition of designing alternative Christmas trees.

    And I have personally seen his trees for a couple of years, so it's not like he's entirely unknown.

    And of all the words I might use to describe it, “tree” wouldn’t be one of them. But it’s a cool enough large candle holder ig.

    right lol. a triangular stack of a few lit candles does not mean it’s suddenly equivalent to a tree

    It’s weird when my niche insta interests crossover into my Reddit world. I view Instagram influencers in a very different light than pop culture.

    Maybe I’m not cultured or trendy enough or whatever but I hate it. Where is the colour. Christmas for me is a chaos of colour, I cannot stand all white trees or… whatever this is. In the shops this year I saw a whole bunch of sad beige baubles. Anti-Christmas

    his whole thing is architecture and interior design inspired by medieval and renaissance europe and he handmade these dripping wax-look fake candles for halloween or thanksgiving or something. each year he hand makes an alternative christmas tree for fun and this year he was inspired by the dripping wax candles he made, so this tree is made of iron chandeliers and the fake wax! it’s more of an art piece than an actual christmas tree, it’s not meant to be cosy and fun, it’s meant to evoke like a 15th century castle

    parent root

    It’s cool and impressive and knowing the architecture of medieval and renaissance Europe it makes a lot of sense that this is the result. I don’t hate it as an art piece. I think I’m just jaded from all the bland beige Christmas decorations I’ve seen that this is a visceral No to me BUT I shouldn’t be so negative… if you have nothing nice to say etc etc

    Im sure he’s very talented, i do think this will miss the mark for a lot of people because it doesn’t seem very christmasy or tree-like. I will be looking him up though because medieval style architecture is my kind of thing.

    Real candles?? + Fire hazard?? In this economy??

    parent
    14 points mlg1981

    I had to really look, but I am pretty sure they are battery operated candles. That being said I think aesthetically it would look better with real candles with the random flickering of a real flame, but I obviously understand not doing that for safety.

    The flames are clearly moving, not just flickering. Check his Insta, he confirmed it 🫠

    Is it supposed to look like melted wax? Spanish moss? A murderer yeti? Maybe if I had some frame of reference, like the other yearly Christmas trees it would be more interesting. This just looks like the Temu version of a gothic candle chandelier to me.

    Yeah, bleached amaranthus flowers to look like melted candles iirc.
