This Les Objects candleholder, crafted in the Netherlands during the 1980s, is a distinctive specimen of postmodern experimentation with form and function. Made from cool, highly reflective aluminium, it features a dynamically curling, spiral profile that departs radically from traditional candleholder archetypes. The monolithic construction, free of visible joins or decorative accents, draws attention to its sculptural, fluid outline which elegantly rises to 30 cm in height, with a foundation of 16 by 11 cm. The satin sheen of the metal accentuates the intricate play of reflections, complemented by subtle, authentic microtraces of use characteristic of true vintage pieces. The condition is described as very good—the surface shows only minimal signs of prior use, not affecting its visual or practical qualities. The spirit of the 1980s is embedded in this object: nonchalant freedom mixed with a penchant for avant-garde experimentation. The coiled, almost audacious silhouette appears to defy gravity, evoking a time when design abandoned conventions in pursuit of individual gestures and expressive liberty. The metallic lustre, reminiscent of a still from a futuristic film, captures and reflects light and its surroundings, embodying the era's pursuit of dialogue between the everyday and the domain of functional art. This candleholder tells the story of an age when domestic objects were transformed into micro-sculptures, blending daily life with the creative restlessness that defined the close of the twentieth century. The candleholder's sculptural, freeform presence is best accentuated when displayed solo—on a noble wood surface or a monolithic lacquered MDF console. It can be paired with minimalist ceramics, a glass carafe, or graphical artworks echoing
