A certified French film fanatic, I did a double take when I saw the Harry Allen Bestow Vase/Candle Holder ($95), because it conjures up Jean Cocteau's La Belle et La Bête, particularly the scene with the arms that outstretch from the wall, holding a candelabra. This vase/ candle holder is from the Harry Allen Reality series, which consists of objects whose form is "sampled" from existing objects. This particular product is a highly detailed cast of the designer's own hands. The series is certainly something new in home accessories, but this product is a little too eerie for me. What do you think?

it's a little creepy!
1But kind of cool at the same time... Bottom line: I still voted Hate It.
the hand is too "i could strangle you with my might."
2if it were more delicate, maybe i'd be into it.
Love Cocteau's La Belle et La Bete, but these candelabra fall way short of the ones in the movie.
3It's creepy...
4I wouldnt get it. i would run into and break it or something.
I like Creepy, so i love it. I would paint them, zombie like
5I don't like creepy anymore. I don't want to feel like I'm trapped in a dungeon when I'm supposed to be in my happy place.
6Way creepy, but reminds me of the hat hangars in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."
7That's super creepy.
8It's creepy that's why I'd get them, paint them and then only use them for Halloween decos!!! I decorate insanely at Halloween!!!!!!
9Awesome. Plus, you could paint them to match the walls. I dig it.
10Ugh, too creepy. Reminds me of one particular scene from Polanski's "Repulsion"...
11not diggin' it
12but it is mighty creative
very "Labyrinth"
i have expect them to grab me =)
Ew creepy!!!
13Creepy is definitely the word of choice here.
14I don't hate it but it's creepy. It would freak me out at night - and probably cast and equally creapy shadow.
15Creepy!
16this would totally give me nightmares lmao
17I think is very clever, but I have no idea if I'd ever actually put it in a house.
18If you lived in the Adams' Family mansion, this would be appropriate. Or as an expensive Halloween decoration. Other than that, I'd have a very hard time being convinced to put this in my living space. I would never come out of my room for fear of having to look at it.
19It's freaking me out. Might have nightmares about that thing if it was in my house.
20it reminds me of that film "frightners" - which terrified me!!
21bit scary but could be cool in the right setting
omg that was SCARY!
22Very zombie. Where's the stylish disembodied head/skull motif for the walls with the bloodred candles to go with it?
23i think its kinda fun!
but yeah, sorta creepy!
24Hate.
25Those are a little too creepy for my taste.
26Ewww sorry. It's just a little too creepy for me!
27No way Jose'!
28wow. usually my taste is very bizarre and quirky but this is a bit too much!!
29it looks like someone punched through the wall and i don't like it, but it would be cool if there was a left and a right one, then you could turn them sideways, stick a dowl in there and have a creepy towel holder.
