Product description
"Heart" Candelabra, Staffan Gellerstedt for Pukeberg, 70s – Sweden
Original Heart candelabra, designed by Staffan Gellerstedt for the Swedish glassware company Pukeberg during the 70s. From its almond-shaped foot, the base emerges, separating into three arms, each with a support for a candle. Between them, two small heart-shaped pieces hang from the two openings, giving the design its name. As is common in his designs, it incorporates a textured or modeled surface that plays with light and creates natural and organic effects. It is not just a Decorative Objects, but an icon of Swedish design history.
Staffan Gellerstedt
Staffan Gellerstedt is a Swedish designer and glass artist, born in 1944, who worked extensively for Pukeberg Glasbruk during the 1970s and 1980s. His pieces, especially candelabras and art glass bottles, are recognized for their irregular texture and organic style, characteristic of modern Scandinavian design.
Pukeberg Glasbruk, the historic Swedish glassworks
Pukeberg is one of Sweden's oldest and most renowned glassworks, founded in 1871 in the town of Nybro, in the Småland region, known as Sweden's "Kingdom of Crystal" (Glasriket). For over a century, it was recognized for producing both artistic glass and high-quality utilitarian glass. It stood out for its innovation in glass blowing, pressing, and molding techniques. It was home to renowned Swedish designers, such as Uno Westerberg, Eva Englund, and Signe Persson-Melin, who brought unique styles to its catalog. It experienced its creative peak between the 1950s and 1970s, producing a large number of pieces, both decorative and utilitarian, for export. Although industrial production has ceased, the original site in Nybro now houses the Pukeberg Design Center: a creative and educational center that includes workshops, design studios, a gallery, and spaces for artists. It is also part of the Glasriket (Kingdom of Crystal) tourist circuit.
