Constructed from stacked, lathe-turned wood elements, each candlestick features a sculptural silhouette accented in vibrant cobalt blue, emerald green, sunny yellow, chartreuse, white, and black, creating a joyful composition of geometric shapes and saturated color.

Their whimsical design reflects the expressive spirit of 1980s Postmodernism, where traditional forms were reimagined through unexpected proportions and vivid hues. Equally at home in Memphis, contemporary, eclectic, or modern interiors, these candlesticks function as both decorative sculptures and functional candle holders.

Whether displayed as a colorful centerpiece, styled on a bookshelf, or paired with taper candles for an artistic tablescape, they bring a dynamic graphic presence to any room. Their handcrafted construction and unique painted finish make each example slightly individual, adding to their vintage charm and collectible appeal.

A wonderful pair for collectors of Postmodern design, Memphis-inspired décor, or distinctive artisan wood objects. See less
