ABOUT PRODUCTID 20332
The JÄÄKIDETUIKKULA tealight holder, designed by Simo Tavasti for the Finnish glassworks Muurla in the 1960s, embodies the Scandinavian approach to glassmaking. Crafted from clear, colorless glass with a cool, icy tone and remarkable transparency, it features an irregular, frosted texture evocative of cracked ice or a snowflake. Six tealight recesses are arranged in a radial pattern, emphasizing the organic geometry of the piece. The thick glass reveals traces of hand-forming—visible air bubbles and subtle irregularities highlight its unique, artisanal character. The predominantly matte finish contrasts with glossy highlights on the raised edges, and the substantial mass of glass ensures stability. The condition is excellent: no chips, cracks, or signs of wear, with the piece remaining fully authentic and untouched by restoration.JÄÄKIDETUIKKULA tells a story of northern light and Scandinavian sensitivity to nature. Its form—like a frozen fragment of a lake—recalls the cool elegance of the 1960s, when Finnish glass explored abstract, nature-inspired motifs. The holder seems to whisper of white nights, sparkling snow, and an unadorned purity that lets the material speak for itself. Each tealight spark mirrors off the irregular edges, creating shifting highlights reminiscent of icy reflections.The holder may be paired with minimalist light wood tables or raw concrete and matte stone to emphasize textural contrasts. It fits seamlessly into mid-century modern and contemporary collector interiors, where glass serves as a stand-alone decorative object. It can be combined with low-profile metal or ceramic candleholders, as well as handwoven textiles in cool tones, to achieve a balanced, Nordic atmosphere on a table or sideboard.
