ABOUT PRODUCTID 19557
This candle holder, made from translucent plastic in the United Kingdom during the 1970s, exemplifies the industrial molding techniques of its era—its form is seamless, with no visible joints, highlighting a sense of fluidity. The primary material is clear, glossy plastic that creates a glass-like visual effect, complemented by olive green translucent segments encircling the midsection. At the top, a red candle is embedded within a generously sized holder. The entire surface is adorned with rounded, bubble-like protrusions, evoking the textures of a beehive or a stylized berry. Biomorphic contours, vibrant color play, and the reflective quality of the plastic place this piece decisively within the late Mid-Century Modern and early Space Age aesthetic. The item is in very good vintage condition, displaying only minimal signs of use consistent with age.This object tells the story of an era when the future was shaped by bold colors and experimental forms. It might have appeared equally at home in a science-fiction film set or on the coffee table of a 1970s technology enthusiast. The glossy shell reflects light almost like a lens, while olive accents and the playful, bulbous texture conjure visions of fantastical fruits or nature-inspired forms. There is a sense of optimism in the shape—a nod to a time that dared to experiment with materials, color, and imagination.In an interior, the holder can be paired with other Space Age-inspired
