About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
An iconic designer candlestick by Tapio Wirkkala (1915–1985), one of the most influential Finnish designers of the 20th century,
for the German manufacturer Rosenthal, dating from the 1970s.
This sculptural piece is distinguished by an architectural silhouette typical of Nordic modernism: a composition of superimposed volumes, with an elegant contrast between the deep red upper section and the midnight blue base.
The overall effect is a strong, graphic presence, perfectly embodying the aesthetic of post-war Scandinavian design.
Founded in Germany, Rosenthal is a leading manufacturer of porcelain and design. The "Studio Linie" line, launched in the 1960s, marked a turning point: the brand commissioned international designers (Wirkkala, Raymond Loewy, etc.) to produce contemporary objects of high artistic value.
Studio Linie pieces are now sought after for their quality craftsmanship and their significance in the history of European design.
