A striking pair of “Tango” candleholders designed in 2000 by Danish designer Mikaela Dörfel for Manu. Defined by their elegant, flowing lines, these sculptural metal candleholders capture a sense of movement and balance—true to their evocative name.
The design reflects a refined Scandinavian aesthetic, where minimal form meets expressive gesture. Each piece is crafted from metal with slender, curved silhouettes that appear almost choreographed, creating a dynamic interplay between light, shadow, and form when candles are lit.
Both functional and decorative, the “Tango” candleholders serve as sophisticated design objects, bringing a subtle sense of rhythm and modern elegance to a dining table, mantel, or console. Their timeless yet contemporary character makes them equally suited to modern interiors and curated design collections.
