Description

Aluminium Candlestick by Les Objects, the Netherlands, 1980s

A designer candlestick from the 1980s, and an exceptionally striking example of the postmodern approach to functional form.
The piece is characterised by a dynamic, sculptural shape. Its construction is based on a fancifully curved spiral loop that smoothly transitions into a slender, tall arm rising upwards.
Made of polished aluminium, it has an elegant, silvery sheen and a smooth, modern surface.
The top of the arm is cut at an angle and conceals a precisely shaped opening designed to hold a classic tall candle.
Its unique silhouette places the piece on the boundary between functional art and abstract sculpture, making it a strong decorative accent in modern or vintage interiors.
