The candle holder is constructed from cast iron and features eight outstretched arms, radiating outward in a spider-like formation—hence the name. Each arm is fitted to hold a slender taper candle, making it both a dramatic centerpiece and a highly collectible piece of Scandinavian design history.

with its minimalist geometry and bold, industrial material, the Spider candle holder epitomizes the Danish modern aesthetic and Quistgaard’s innovative approach to everyday objects.
