Description from the seller
An iconic set of three Festivo candlesticks, designed in 1967 by the legendary designer Timo Sarpaneva for Iittala. The Festivo is one of the most recognizable objects of Finnish design and an absolute favorite among international collectors.
The unique design of the Festivo came about when Sarpaneva designed a wine glass large enough for a whole bottle of wine; he attached this glass to the base of a candlestick and thus the prototype of this classic was born. The glass has a distinctive surface that evokes melting ice, giving each candlestick a unique and natural appearance.
Specifications of this set:
The set consists of three different sizes, each characterized by the number of rings:
- 2 rings: height approx. 12 cm
- 3 rings: height approx. 14.5 cm
- 4 rings: height approx. 18 cm
Authenticity and Signature:
This set is special because all three pieces are hand-signed on the underside with the initials 'TS' (Timo Sarpaneva). In addition, they are provided with the original red Iittala stickers (in some cases a little faded) and ("Made in Finland"), which confirms the quality and provenance of this set.
Details:
Designer: Timo Sarpaneva (1967)
