House is part of Nottingham-based Sono Design’s second product range, released this summer. The ceramic candlestick is shaped like a house, with a candle in the place of the chimney. “We thought it would stick in people’s minds,” explains Nick Jackson. Jackson launched Sono with Grant Baker in 2007, a year after graduating from Nottingham Trent University. “The name is Italian for ‘I am’, we kept looking for a name that suited us and started listing all the things that we are, so ‘I am’ seemed to fit very well.” Sono only uses British manufacturers – House is produced in Stoke.
