The Cumulus Candle Holder is a hand-carved wood and marble collectible object from the Melting Collection by Gabor Gobi. Its form moves upward — narrow, accumulative, the gesture of a cloud or column — white marble remnants and Yakisugi-charred pine drawn into a single vertical resolution. A carved cork base gives the whole object the character of something geological.

Each piece originates in salvaged material — beam wood, marble remnants, objects bearing the marks of earlier use. The wood undergoes Yakisugi, the Japanese preservation technique of controlled charring, then receives natural oils and a beeswax seal. No synthetic materials. Cork protects surfaces from contact.

On the finished surface, charred wood and pale marble appear to fuse, as if subject to the same slow pressure. The beeswax seal gives the surface a settled depth that responds to the light of the room.

Compact enough for a shelf or mantelpiece, with sufficient vertical presence for a considered setting. Cork base. One of a kind; form and marble variation are unique to each piece.

Budapest-based collectible designer crafting sculptural furniture and functional art objects from salvaged wood, marble, and reclaimed materials.

Gábor Góbi is a Budapest-based collectible designer working at the intersection of sculptural furniture, functional art, and environmental consciousness. A self-taught maker with over a decade of practice — rooted in a background in graphic design — Góbi has built a body of work defined by the conscious rejection of synthetic materials and a restless pursuit of meaning in what others discard.

His studio, Góbi Design, operates as both workshop and manifesto. No plastics enter. Nothing is wasted. Working exclusively with earth-derived materials — salvaged wood, marble remnants, stone, and reclaimed metals sourced from scrapyards and the streets of Budapest — Góbi transforms the overlooked into objects that carry the weight of their past lives. Techniques such as Yakisugi, the ancient Japanese art of wood preservation through controlled charring, hand carving, and natural beeswax finishes bring each piece into being without industrial polish or artifice.

Informed by wabi-sabi philosophy and movements including slow living and degrowth, his work resists the perfection of mass production in favour of objects that meditate on time, decay, and resilience. Each hand-carved piece exists as both functional sculpture and quiet argument — for second chances, for the inherent value in materials most would overlook, for a different relationship between making and the natural world.

Exhibiting internationally at venues including Collectible Brussels, Milano Design Week's Alcova, and Maison&Objet Hong Kong, Góbi's reach continues to grow. The work remains grounded — literally and philosophically — in the soils and salvage yards of Budapest.

For me, to create is to search. — Gábor Góbi
