ABOUT PRODUCTID 17091
This pair of candlesticks, designed by Torben Orskov in the 1970s, is crafted from pewter or a similar silvery metal. The distinctly geometric base, reminiscent of a diamond shape, transitions smoothly into a cylindrical candle holder, highlighting a symmetrical and balanced structure. The metallic surfaces are mirror-polished and reflective, capturing light and surrounding forms with glass-like clarity. The design is strictly minimalist, lacking ornamentation or engraving, and exemplifies the pure lines and proportions central to Scandinavian modernism. Meticulous craftsmanship is evident in the seamless joints and flawless finish. The candlesticks are preserved in very good condition, with only a few minor surface scratches typical for vintage objects of this period and no noticeable dents or deformations. These candlesticks resonate with the deliberate, restrained voice of Danish modernism from the 1970s: their metallic sheen reflects an era's fascination with simplicity, while the compact, geometric silhouette speaks of a modernity aimed not at decoration, but at being an essential part of everyday life. There is a sense of calm sophistication—function and form converge, and the cool tone of the metal captures the unique light of the North, filtered through the lens of Scandinavian design. The candlesticks can be paired with a pale wooden tabletop or a minimalist chest of drawers, showcasing their geometric form against smooth textiles or glass. They suit pared-back Scandi-inspired interiors, where the clarity of the metal accentuates natural daylight. You may combine them with other 1970s accents, such as a subdued ceramic vase or a chrome lamp, introducing a subtle play of materials and reflections. They will also find their place in eclectic settings, acting as a counterpoint to soft upholstery textures or natural wood elements.
