About the Item

A sculptural pair of Italian candlesticks from the 1980s, reflecting the bold and expressive aesthetics associated with the Memphis movement. Each piece combines contrasting materials and forms, resulting in a striking decorative object that functions as both a light source and a sculptural element. The candlesticks feature a sleek metal construction paired with visually grounding bases, creating a balanced and architectural silhouette that enhances their presence in any interior setting. Their graphic design and playful tension between geometry and materiality make them a perfect fit for collectors and admirers of postmodern European design. These candlesticks offer versatility – equally effective as standalone decorative accents or as part of a curated vignette. They complement both contemporary and vintage interiors, adding character, colour, and form without overwhelming the space. An eye-catching addition for anyone looking to introduce authentic 1980s design into their home, this pair blends function and artistic sensibility in a way that feels both relevant and timeless.
