ABOUT PRODUCTID 36537
This five-armed candlestick, designed by Staffan Gellerstedt for the Pukeberg glassworks, is an authentic example of Swedish 1970s design. Crafted entirely from clear, colorless glass with a cool, neutral hue and high transparency, its construction embodies the geometric harmony of Scandinavian modernism: five softly rounded arms radiate from a central stem, while decorative glass spheres along the vertical axis introduce an organic, sculptural accent. The glossy surface, subtle air bubbles, and minor irregularities emphasize its handmade origins. The proportions are balanced, with a wide base providing stability to the composition. The overall condition is very good—no visible damage, chips, or repairs, and only minimal signs of age typical for vintage glass.This candlestick tells the story of Swedish modernism, where craftsmanship and function meet pure form. The transparent, uncolored glass reflects light naturally, while subtle details—such as the spherical applications—evoke the imagery of Scandinavian ice sculptures. Gellerstedt’s design speaks with the voice of its era: unassuming, respectful of material, and open to formal experimentation—as if the candlestick is intended not merely as a utilitarian object, but as a small sculpture for the table.Placed in a living room, the candlestick can serve as a calm yet expressive accent atop a low console or light-toned wooden table, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow. It pairs well with other mid-century modern objects—such as ceramics with simple contours or minimalist vases—as well as in more eclectic interiors, where the clarity of the glass can balance stronger colors and textures. It could be combined with coarse textiles or metallic accents to underline its purity and tranquil, Scandinavian character.
