Crystalline Candleholders Made Using The Magic Of Magnetism
Jólan van der Wiel is a Dutch designer harnessing the power of nature to create unbelievable forms. His candlesticks begin as resin packed with iron oxide. Then, through a pulley system fitted with large magnets, the  resin is pulled along the magnetic field lines into shapes that represent a freakin’ force of physics, visualized right before our eyes. The invisible made visible.
When the resin sets, the magnetic field spikes are written in air forever, with no human intervention!
Previously: The insane magnetic liquid art of ferrofluids, be amazed here and again here.
