Ben Noam, Mushroom Candle Holder #15

Los Angeles artist Ben Wolf Noam began this series as a celebration of the winter season, envisioning it as a whimsical, year-round reminder of the magic and beauty of nature’s cycles. Noam’s work weaves a tale of winter wonderland fantasy, where mushrooms grow like architectural villages beneath frost-kissed trees. These vibrant, psychedelic creations echo the colors and dreamlike quality of classic winter scenes, with a nod to the colorful spirit of folk art and the mythical creatures that appear when the first snowflakes fall.

Each piece is hand-built, with mushrooms varying in size, shape, and color, making each candle holder a completely unique work of art. The diversity of textures and patterns captures the playful yet serene mood of a season in constant transformation. Functional yet fantastical, these creations are designed not only for holiday display, but as year-round tributes to nature’s beauty and the magic of winter.
