ABOUT PRODUCTID 35099
This unique 'Kaganek' candleholder, designed by Andrzej Rohacki, is a distinctive example of Polish artistic craftsmanship from the 1960s, rooted in the Zakopane modernist movement. The construction features dark, almost black wood with a matte finish, displaying visible natural grain and a pronounced hand-carved texture. The central bowl is made of hand-enameled ceramic, drawing the eye with its vibrant, dynamic palette of warm yellows, ochres, and browns, accented by touches of green and gray. The form is inspired by the traditional Zakopane 'kaganek' motif, enhanced by a geometric arrangement of radiating wooden arms and a carved underside with a rosette pattern. The proportions are carefully balanced—the ceramic bowl serves as the compositional focal point, while the wooden elements provide architectural rhythm. The candleholder is in very good condition, with no visible damage, cracks, or signs of heavy use; the piece is complete and signed.This object resonates with the voice of southern Polish modernism: the rawness of wood and the organic sheen of enamel come together in a piece that tells of a dialogue between tradition and modernity. The radiating wooden arms suggest openness and movement, while the hand-enameled ceramic speaks of artisanal care and the search for uniqueness. Each patch of color on the enamel seems to glow warmly, evoking memories of mountain evenings illuminated by candlelight.The candleholder can be paired with other mid-century modern or
