ABOUT PRODUCTID 27385
This ceramic candlestick, designed by Einar Johansen for Søholm Keramik and produced in Denmark in the 1960s, exemplifies mid-century modern style. Crafted from ceramic, it features a compact, cylindrical form with balanced proportions (7.5 × 6.5 × 6.5 cm). The primary color is a deep, saturated blue, complemented by accents of brown and black. The body is adorned with a glossy, geometric relief pattern composed of repeating triangular motifs, while the neck and rim are finished with a matte, slightly textured surface, distinguishing the decorative and functional zones. Its compact shape and wide, flat rim ensure stability and ease of use. There are no visible damages or chips; minor surface scratches and age-appropriate traces of use may be present. The piece is preserved in very good, original condition.The candlestick speaks with the language of Danish modernism: geometric patterns and a lustrous blue glaze evoke images of cold Scandinavian evenings, illuminated by the focused light of a candle. The relief creates a rhythmic interplay of shadow and gloss, while the unadorned upper section reflects the restraint and practicality of 1960s design. This object carries echoes of northern light and architectural order, uniting craftsmanship with the artistic discipline of its era.The candlestick may be displayed on a low, light-wood sideboard or a modernist shelf, where its relief decoration contrasts with smooth surfaces. It suits mid-century modern interiors, but would also work in eclectic collector spaces or minimalist living rooms, where a single, expressive ceramic accent brings depth. It can be paired with other 1960s objects—emerald or amber glass, a matte metal tray, or raw textiles—to highlight its timeless character.
