Utospace is a functional set of stainless steel planters and candleholders made of SUS316 (SS 18/10). It can be used as a planter or holder for candle pillars or sticks. There are 3 candlestick holders which can be removed and used individually. The base can also act as a tray for separate use. The design idea of Utospace comes from the ideal country of Utopia and the Asian philosophy, the Analects of Confucius Zilu, both of which also represent a kind of spiritualism, harmonious integration, and great unity.
