About the Item
Bring sculptural drama and Nordic craftsmanship to your interior with this striking Brutalist wall-mounted candle holder, designed by Finnish artist Erkki Hovi and crafted by Finn Atelier Oy in the 1970s.
Carved from richly grained pinewood and treated with a burnt finish to enhance the organic texture, this piece combines biomorphic forms with expressive woodwork, reminiscent of modernist sculpture and Finnish folk art. The undulating surface, dramatic voids, and flame-like silhouette give the work a dynamic, almost primal quality, ideal for collectors of Brutalist, organic modern, or Scandinavian design.
Designed to hold a single candle, it functions equally well as a wall sculpture or ambient light source, creating a mesmerizing interplay of shadow and grain when lit. The back is impressed with:
“Finn Atelier Oy, Made in Finland, Design E. Hovi.”
