This sculptural and architectural form reflects Wagenfeld’s hallmark functional modernism. The elongated horizontal bar is supported by an angular, bridge-like base, creating a striking sense of balance and industrial elegance. Two detachable candle cups rest symmetrically along the top rail, allowing flexibility of arrangement.

The underside bears the WMF Germany mark.

An iconic example of post-Bauhaus German design — minimal, refined, and timeless.
