Product description
For sale is a striking, asymmetrical candlestick that perfectly captures the unconventional and playful design language of postmodernism and the Memphis era of the 1980s and 90s.
With its organically curved, wave-like arms (known as "squiggle" or "wavy" design), this object appears less like a purely functional item and more like a small, independent sculpture. The minimalist, matte black metal creates a captivating contrast to the dynamic form and makes it an excellent statement piece for modern, minimalist, or eclectic interiors.
Product details:
Style / Era: Postmodernism / Memphis Design (approx. 1980s–1990s)
Material: Solid metal (magnetic), black lacquered
Dimensions: Height approx. 40 cm | Width approx. 8.5 cm | Depth approx. 10.1 cm
Socket: Designed for narrow candles (inner diameter of the sockets approx. 1.2 cm, suitable for tree or Christmas tree candles)
Condition:
Authentic vintage condition with visible signs of wear. The object is solid and completely stable. However, the black paintwork shows age-related and manufacturing flaws: there are scratches on the surface, paint chips (especially on the inside of the candle sockets), and areas where the paint flowed unevenly during manufacturing, resulting in drips. Please see the attached detailed photos. These imperfections give the piece its honest, slightly rustic vintage character.
Private sale. Sold as is, without warranty or guarantee.
