ABOUT PRODUCTID 11930
This German brutalist candleholder from the 1970s is crafted from hand-forged metal in a deep, matte black finish. The design features a wide, shallow dish for the candle, set atop a central circular element, and three elongated, curved legs that splay outward to form a stable base measuring 20 × 15 cm and reaching a height of 66 cm. The surface is marked by prominent hammer imprints, visible rivets, and irregularities that emphasize its artisanal, handcrafted quality. The construction is devoid of ornamentation, focusing on the material’s authenticity and the striking, architectural silhouette. The candleholder remains in very good condition, with an original patina preserved, free of rust, damage, or repairs.This piece speaks in the vocabulary of German 1970s brutalism: simplicity, unyielding function, and honesty of construction. Its raw, sculptural form recalls an era when aesthetics grew directly from manual labor and material truth. The visible hammer strikes and irregular contours evoke the spirit of industrial workshops, where every detail reflected purposeful design. The candleholder’s mass and monumentality do not overwhelm a space; instead, they narrate a story of authenticity and the enduring power of simplicity.In interior arrangements, this candleholder could be paired with a minimalist solid wood table, a concrete console, or a raw mid-century modern sideboard. It would suit surroundings with coarse-textured ceramics, simple glassware, or a solitary stone sculpture. Its tall, dynamic structure emphasizes the character of industrial, collector, or eclectic interiors—well suited to natural materials and subdued color palettes that allow its sculptural presence to stand out.No additional technical information or care instructions are provided.
