“Heart” Candlestick, Staffan Gellerstedt for Pukeberg, 1970s – Sweden. The original Heart candlestick, designed by Staffan Gellerstedt for the Swedish glassmaker Pukeberg during the 1970s, forms the base of its almond-shaped stem, which separates into three arms, each holding a candle. Between them, two small heart-shaped pieces hang from the two gaps, giving the design its name. As is typical in his designs, it incorporates a textured or patterned surface that plays with the light and creates natural and organic effects. It is not just a decorative piece, but an icon in the history of Swedish design.

For over a century, it was renowned for producing both high-quality art glass and utility glass. It was noted for its innovation in glassblowing, pressing, and molding techniques. It was home to renowned Swedish designers such as Uno Westerberg, Eva Englund, and Signe Persson-Melin, who all contributed unique styles to its catalog.
