Description from the seller
Set of three solid glass candle holders – Göran Wärff for Kosta Boda, Sweden, 1970s
Set of three clear glass candle holders designed by Göran Wärff for Kosta Boda, Sweden, 1970s.
The pieces adopt a vertically striped column form, with a slightly wider base and a circular top plateau more extended than the central shaft. This simple, structured construction highlights the thickness of the glass and creates a pronounced architectural presence.
The vertical relief catches the light and emphasizes the transparency play characteristic of Scandinavian glass from the 1970s. The overall aesthetic is sober, on the border between modernism and a more brutalist reading through the purity of form and the chosen materiality.
Condition: very good vintage condition, no chips or cracks.
Dimensions:
Large model:
Height: 24 cm
Diameter: 8 cm
For candles of about 2 cm in diameter
Two small models:
Height: 8.5 cm
Diameter: 7.5 cm
For candles of about 1.5 cm in diameter
A harmonious and decorative collection, representative of 1970s Swedish glass design.
