The pair of Kivi candle holders, designed by Heikki Orvola for Iittala in Finland in the 1980s, exemplifies Scandinavian glassmaking at the turn of the twentieth century. Each holder is crafted from thick, high-quality glass in a deep cobalt blue with a cool undertone. The minimalist, cylindrical form with straight sides and a flat base reflects the modernist current of Finnish design. The proportions are harmonious—both height and diameter measure approximately 6 cm, giving the holders a compact and stable silhouette. The glass surface is glossy and smooth, free from ornamentation, while the gently rounded, polished edge demonstrates attention to detail. One holder retains the original Iittala sticker, confirming its authenticity. The condition is very good—no visible damage, only minimal signs of use consistent with vintage items. These candle holders echo the spirit of 1980s northern Finland: glass in a profound blue shade that captures light like a tranquil lake at dawn. Their simple form needs no embellishment—the design speaks through the intensity of color and material purity. They evoke long Finnish evenings, where candlelight reflects in the glass, creating a subtle play of glows and shadows. Their presence brings Nordic restraint and quietude to any interior. The Kivi candle holders may be paired with a modern, minimalist light wood table or mid-century modern furniture, where the deep blue glass stands out against natural textures. Combined with simple ceramics, whites, or steel, they accentuate a clean, architectural arrangement. They also suit eclectic, collector's interiors—as a distinct color accent on a sideboard or among other vintage glass pieces. The listed price refers to the complete set of two candle holders.
