ABOUT PRODUCTID 32071
This candle holder, designed by Kaija Aarikka for Humppila, exemplifies Finnish craftsmanship from the 1960s. It is made of thick, clear glass with a cool, slightly bluish undertone, giving it a crisp, icy appearance. The surface is heavily textured, featuring irregular, vertical striations reminiscent of melting ice or tree bark. The bowl has an uneven, wavy rim, while the solid, slightly flared stem provides stability and a sculptural silhouette. The glass is matte with subtle glossy accents where the texture softens. The original manufacturer's sticker confirms the authenticity of the piece. It remains in excellent vintage condition with no damage or signs of restoration—only minimal traces of use typical for its era. The form of the candle holder evokes the spirit of Finnish modernism, drawing inspiration from nature: frozen lakes, icy textures, the rhythm of birch bark—all reflected in the glass structure. The object seems to tell a story of northern landscapes, where light filters through frosted glass and the organic outline suggests hand-crafted modeling. In this piece, one hears echoes of a time when craftsmanship and applied art merged, turning everyday objects into sensual experiences. The candle holder can be paired with minimalist ceramics or raw wooden accents—working well against a backdrop of natural materials such as linen, wool, or light wood. It will suit a modern living space with Scandinavian influences as well as an eclectic collector’s interior, where vintage details are highlighted against a neutral background. It may serve as a focal point on a table or console, emphasizing the subtle glow of candlelight and the tactile structure of glass. The listed price refers to a single piece.
