ABOUT PRODUCTID 20756
This set of three Memphis-style candlesticks, produced in Germany in the 1980s, exemplifies the sculptural, geometric forms characteristic of postmodern design. Each piece features a slender, metal stem with a cool-toned, matte finish—likely brushed stainless steel or aluminum. The conical candle holders are accented below by semi-circular discs crafted from frosted, translucent acrylic or glass, providing a decorative contrast to the metallic elements. Small, brass-colored spherical connectors subtly mark the junctions between the materials, introducing a warm note to the composition. The round, flat bases ensure stability and balance. The trio’s varying heights (26 cm, 30 cm, 34 cm) create a dynamic, tiered arrangement. The set remains in very good vintage condition with only minimal surface scratches typical of gentle use and no structural damage.The candlesticks evoke the spirit of an era defined by creative freedom and expressive individuality. Their forms juxtapose the cool austerity of metal with the playful interaction of light on translucent discs, narrating the story of the 1980s—a time when design became a manifesto of optimism and experimentation. The geometric contrasts and vertical rhythm recall the energy of the Memphis movement, which deliberately broke conventions to introduce surprise and irony into interiors.Displayed together, the set may serve as a bold centerpiece on a dining table, low console, or sideboard, where their differing heights produce a striking visual rhythm. They can be paired with minimalist ceramics or glassware to emphasize their postmodern character, or set within an eclectic interior to contrast with more classical elements. These candlesticks would work well in both retro and contemporary spaces, offering a distinctive, collectible designer accent.
