ABOUT PRODUCTID 16924
The Arclumis pair of candlesticks, designed by Matthew Hilton for SCP England in the 1980s, showcases a distinctly sculptural, cubist approach. Crafted from polished aluminum, each candlestick features angular, dynamic lines, sharp edges, and wide triangular bases. The mirror-like, cool silver surface—free of patterns or decorative details—emphasizes their monolithic, minimalist construction, with no visible joints or hardware. The taller candlestick stands 27 cm high (base 13 × 6 cm), while the shorter measures 21 cm (base 9.5 × 5 cm). Both pieces are in excellent condition, with no visible signs of wear or restoration. In these candlesticks, the spirit of British late modernism is palpable—everyday objects elevated to contemporary sculpture. The smooth planes and crisp edges reflect the vibrant energy and geometric experimentation of the 1980s. As the candlelight plays across the surfaces, the pair tells a story of formal bravery and modernist influence, merging functional object with abstract sculpture and inviting the eye to follow lines and reflections. The Arclumis set would sit comfortably in a modern living room, serving either as functional candlesticks or as free-standing sculptural statements on a sideboard, console, or low coffee table. They could be paired with other clean-lined furniture or juxtaposed with vintage pieces from the 1970s and 1980s for a dialogue between eras. Bold glassware, monochrome graphic art, or a single, designer lamp could further enhance their geometric qualities—perfectly at ease within minimalist, modernist, or thoughtfully eclectic collector's interiors.
