Set aside that beige minimalism for these Postmodern candle holders that are straight out of a 1980s Italian fever dream. These objects are from the 'Milano Series' designed and produced by German company Back GmbH in the 80s. As the name suggests, the objects channel the spirit of the Memphis Group's exuberance but with a much more restrained, late-postmodern or “Neo-Deco” interpretation.
It's as if Ettore Sottsass had a meticulous German collaborator who insisted everything also be precisely machined. These aren’t just candle holders—they’re miniature architectural statements perfect for the collector who appreciates the boldness of postmodernism and who believes a candle holder should double as a sculpture.
