Bring the pure magic of a frozen Finnish landscape indoors with this rare Iittala Arkipelago candle holder, designed by the legendary Timo Sarpaneva.
This sculptural showpiece from the iconic Arkipelago series (early 1980s) appears to be made of pure melting ice: heavy, clear glass with a rough, bumpy texture that makes every candle flame dance in a cool, ethereal glow. The organic, asymmetrical shape—four interconnected bowls in a beautiful cloverleaf or flower configuration—captures the light in a way you will never forget.
Perfect for tea lights or as a versatile decorative object: use it as an atmospheric candle holder on the dining table, as a paperweight on your desk, or simply as a work of art on the mantelpiece. In dimmed light, the ice effect comes even more to life—a true statement piece for lovers of Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian design, and timeless elegance. Highlights:
-Authentic Iittala design by Timo Sarpaneva

-Multifunctional: candlestick, paperweight, or purely decorative
