The final design represents the history of the Weavers’ Company, with the three upright elements that hold the candles, representing the ‘warp’ threads of a weaving loom, and the horizontal elements weaving in and out, as the ‘weft’ threads, which develop into billowing cloth, blowing in a breeze to create a sense of flowing movement.

The uprights have a subtle hammered texture representing the twist of single threads coming together to create weaving thread, as does the flared form. The ‘weft’ threads follow the ‘over/under’ pattern of woven cloth, and they each develop into flowing cloth billowing out, with the texture of the hammer blows that create the complex curves evoking the softness of fabric. They may appear delicate and fragile, but the forms are exceptionally strong, they are built to last centuries, as befits a company with over 800 years of history. They are each engraved with the company motto ‘Weave Truth with Trust’.
