Product Insights
The Steel Chandelier by Standard Equipment reimagines a classic fixture as a no-installation, candle-driven sculptural object, born from a college project and handcrafted in Ontario from the brand's signature sheet-metal, silicone, and M8 hardware formula. Its compact 4x2.25-inch footprint and powder-coated steel body in Off White or Mossy Green make it an industrial art piece suitable for shelf or tabletop placement, embodying the brand's philosophy of rethinking everyday objects. The core promise is affordable, conversation-starting design at $29.95—roughly 13 times less than electric chandeliers—but the tradeoff lies in its limitation to tea lights or small tapers for ambient candlelight, offering sculptural presence over full illumination.

Deep Research
What handmade in Ontario means for this piece
- Standard Equipment's design philosophy treats everyday objects like candle holders as starting points for reinvention — the chandelier’s geometric, industrial form is the result of stripping a classic chandelier down to a sculptural skeleton, giving it a presence that sparks curiosity before you even place a candle.
- The chandelier is produced via laser cutting, bending, and powder coating — a process Josh Gadomski adopted for the brand’s first stool because it was locally accessible, and the same small-batch fabrication now yields the chandelier’s precise geometric lines and tough matte finish that resists chipping and corrosion.
The design story behind Standard Equipment
- Standard Equipment products are built from a limited set of shared components — sheet metal panels, silicone spacers, M8 hardware — so across the catalog from shelving to incense holders, the design language remains consistent; this chandelier, while standalone, reads as part of a broader system, giving it a deliberate, engineered feel rather than a one-off decoration.
- Every Standard Equipment piece is produced locally in Ontario, with the founder's Toronto studio overseeing laser cutting, bending, and powder coating of sheet metal — this chandelier carries the precision and craftsmanship of small-batch Canadian manufacturing rather than offshore mass production.
- The brand's mission is to take everyday objects and twist them into conversation pieces — a mantra embodied in this chandelier, which reimagines a candle holder as a sculptural steel object that would look at home in an art gallery as much as on a dinner table.
- Standard Equipment founder Josh Gadomski traces the brand's entire product system back to a second-year college assignment where he had to make sheet metal comfortable — that challenge seeded a formula of laser-cut, powder-coated sheet metal, silicone spacers, and M8 stainless steel hardware that now defines the brand's industrial aesthetic, making this chandelier's solid-steel geometry a direct descendant of that early experimentation.
Price comparison with similar design candle holders
- The Kendall modern candle-style chandelier from MOD Lighting, an electric fixture with adjustable LED flames and a $389.95 USD price tag, represents the entry level for a hardwired version of the same silhouette — making the Simons Steel Chandelier, at $29.95 CAD on sale, a far lower-stakes decorative alternative for renters or anyone exploring the candle-chandelier look without electrical work.
- The Loren 5-Light Candle Chandelier, a traditional steel chandelier at £465 (approx. $800 CAD), illustrates the dramatic cost difference between even an entry-level wired fixture and the Simons Steel Chandelier’s decorative cordless alternative — the latter allows a candle-chandelier presence in a room for roughly the cost of a premium candle set.
- The Blomus DOODLE, a modular stainless steel taper holder, shares the Simons Steel Chandelier's intersecting geometric language and compact footprint — yet its $89.95 USD price tag sits at roughly double the Simons regular price, making the Toronto-made piece a strong value for buyers seeking a sculptural metal candle accent without the premium.
- The Vaaree Geo Mild Steel Candle Holder, priced at ₹2,699, similarly uses an irregular geometric form to create a sculptural candle piece, but its polished gold Art Deco finish contrasts with the Simons’ raw powder-coated industrial steel, making the two pieces near-even in cost and giving buyers a distinct finish choice at the same budget-friendly tier.
- Whereas the Vaaree Geo Mild Steel Candle Holder is produced in India (as indicated by its Jodhpur, Rajasthan manufacturer), the Simons Steel Chandelier is made in Ontario by a Toronto-based design brand, giving it a local-craft narrative that justifies its $65 CAD regular price for consumers who prioritize domestic manufacturing and artisanal production.

Documents & Data
Q&A
5 answered- Does this chandelier require hardwiring, or is it a plug-in model?
- This chandelier is designed for candles and does not require hardwiring or a plug-in — it is a decorative piece intended for ambient candlelight.
- What type of candles or bulbs does this chandelier accommodate?
- It is designed for candles, such as standard tea lights or small taper candles. It does not accommodate electric bulbs.
- Can this chandelier be mounted on a sloped ceiling?
- Given its compact size (4" height, 2.25" width), this chandelier is designed as a decorative accent piece rather than a ceiling-mounted fixture, so sloped ceiling compatibility is not applicable.
- What is the exact diameter of the main geometric ring or overall footprint?
- The exact diameter (width) is 2.25" (6 cm).
- How do you clean the powder-coated steel to maintain its appearance?
- Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed; avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads to protect the powder-coated finish.
