ABOUT PRODUCTID 1356
The Arclumis candle holders, designed by Matthew Hilton for SCP in the United Kingdom in the 1980s, embody the sculptural modernism characteristic of that era. Crafted from solid, highly polished aluminum, they present a cool, silvery tone with a satin sheen that subtly reflects light and accentuates the fluidity of their dynamic lines. Each candle holder features an asymmetrical, geometric form: a broad, stable base transitions into a slender, twisting stem that culminates in an expressively tilted candle cup. The surface is free of visible grain, and the construction is seamless, with no visible joints or fasteners—emphasizing both solidity and sculptural intent. The proportions are elongated, blending influences of cubism with the biomorphic abstraction of the late 20th century. The pair retains its original finish and shows no visible signs of use or restoration. Condition: very good, with no damage or repairs.These candle holders resonate with the voice of late modernism, a period that favored the interplay of light and form over ornamentation. The polished aluminum captures surrounding reflections, creating an aura of understated strength and measured expression. Their asymmetrical twists recall a dialogue between avant-garde artistry and utility, when 1980s design pushed the boundaries between art and functional object. The forms seem poised in motion, inviting reinterpretation with every change of light.This pair could be combined with a minimalist light wood table or a lacquered console, where their silvery surface would highlight the clarity of their lines. They may be paired with glass or organically shaped ceramic decor to emphasize their sculptural quality, and would also work well alongside matte black accents—whether in a contemporary collector's setting or a carefully balanced modernist arrangement.
