How it works

• CLEM works like a clamp lamp: Using a clever screw/clamp mechanism, it can be attached to tabletops, shelves, or windowsills without any drilling or gluing.
• CLEM_candle: slender candle holder for standard household candles with a 25 mm diameter.
• CLEM_flower: vase with a removable glass insert for easy cleaning.
• The highlight: You can transform existing furniture in no time into a place for light or flowers – space-saving, stable, and reversible.
  

Material and manufacturing

CLEM is made of tubular steel with a colored fine-textured powder coating, available in up to 15 colors. The fine structure of the coating gives the metal a pleasant feel.

History / Inspiration

• The brand motto of purSTAHL is "Metal. Form. Simple. New." – the idea: good, useful design does not have to be expensive and should adapt to the realities of life for free-thinking people.
• The tagline for CLEM is "…just add some" – you simply "clamp" a candle or flower onto a piece of furniture you already own.
• By name, CLEM plays on the German word for "clamping" (Anklemmen) – the inspiration clearly comes from the principle of the classic clamp lamp, only repurposed for decoration instead of light (or in the case of CLEM_candle, back to light, just with a real candle).

The people behind it

CLEM is manufactured in the Sauerland region, the "land of 1,000 mountains," by the family business of Christina and Guido Bronold. CLEM was designed by Berlin-based designer Michael Hilgers, who, as a close design partner, helps shape the vision of purSTAHL: a future-oriented, sustainable brand for useful, simple design products.
