Product description
An icon of Scandinavian modernism – an exclusive pair of Svenskt Tenn candlesticks (design attributed to Estrid Ericson, 1960s).
For sale is a unique, extremely rare set of two table candlesticks from the Mid-Century Modern era (1960s). This item represents luxurious Scandinavian design and is attributed to the renowned Swedish designer Estrid Ericson for the prestigious Svenskt Tenn manufacturer.
Note: This offer is for a set of two (a pair) creating a striking cascade of heights.
Design Philosophy and Features:
Unique Materials: A combination of traditional craftsmanship (base and goblet made of high-grade silver-plated metal) with modern, transparent acrylic glass (lucite).
Levitation Effect: The use of a perfectly transparent acrylic column makes the candles appear to be suspended in mid-air. This is a flagship and highly sought-after aesthetic concept from the 1960s.
Timeless form: Universal, minimalist elegance in the spirit of Scandinavian modernism makes these candle holders look perfect in vintage, modern retro interiors, as well as contemporary arrangements such as modern classic or glamour.
