About the Item
This beautiful and sophisticated modular brass candlestick was designed by Lars Halmström and produced by Arvika, Sweden, in the 1950s. Despite its mid century origin, the design feels remarkably contemporary, showcasing the timeless ingenuity of Scandinavian and Nordic craftsmanship. The structure features a series of articulated arms connected by double hinges beneath each candleholder, allowing the piece to move fluidly in multiple directions.
Its flexible construction enables endless configurations: from a straight linear composition to dynamic zigzag or star-shaped arrangements: making each display unique and special. Crafted in solid brass with refined proportions and subtle detailing, this sculptural candlestick embodies the modernist ideals of function, adaptability, and beauty. A striking decorative object that remains as relevant today as when first conceived.
