Allas Cast Iron Seven-Light Candle Holder by Andreas Engesvik This seven-light candle holder was designed by Andreas Engesvik for Iittala and produced in Finland in the early 2010s. The Allas model is executed entirely in cast iron and defined by its circular plate form with unevenly distributed candle sockets. Manufacturer and origin: Iittala, Finland Year of production: circa 2010–2013 Style / use: Scandinavian industrial candle holder, table or floor use The design combines a low, disc-shaped base with seven cylindrical candle sockets of varying heights. This asymmetrical layout introduces subtle variation within a strictly controlled geometric structure. The heavy cast iron construction provides stability and reflects a material-driven approach typical of contemporary Nordic industrial design. Condition: The candle holder is in very good original condition. The matte black cast iron surface shows light, even wear consistent with normal use. No cracks, structural damage, or repairs are observed. The underside retains the original maker’s mark. Value rationale: • Designed by Andreas Engesvik, an established Scandinavian designer active across furniture and industrial design. • Produced by Iittala, a manufacturer with documented design-led production beyond glassware in the early 21st century. • Cast iron construction distinguishes this model from lighter decorative candle holders, aligning it with functional, weight-based Nordic objects. • The Allas model represents a period when Scandinavian brands explored reduced forms and raw materials, positioning it between utilitarian object and sculptural interior element. • Complete original configuration and preserved surface condition support collectability. #artdeco #industrialstyle #vintage #antique #antiques #vintagedecor #homedecor #interiordesign #decor #vintagefinds #vintagestyle #antiquefurniture #retro #interior #idea #iittala #castiron #candleholder #scandinaviandesign #2012
