Product description
This exceptional candle holder combines functionality with artistic expressiveness and exemplifies the formal understanding of early modernism. Designed in 1930 by Benno Meyer, the object impresses with its organically curved, almost fluid lines.
Crafted from solid bronze with a beautiful patina and worked in the characteristic hammered technique, the surface has a vibrant, lightly textured patina that subtly reflects light and gives the piece depth and individuality. The dynamic S-shape appears frozen in motion, lending the candle holder a sculptural presence – an independent art object even without a candle.
Benno Meyer was an early modernist designer whose work was heavily influenced by the spirit of the Bauhaus era. His designs are characterized by the combination of clear function and artistic form. He placed particular emphasis on material honesty and artisanal quality.
Meyer's works often move between design and sculpture – much like this candle holder, which is not only a utilitarian object but also an aesthetic statement.
