The sculptural black iron structure is articulated with four candle holders and four circular colored-glass pendants in emerald green and amber.
dimensions: 37 in. H × 11.2 in. W (94 × 28.5 cm)
glass pendants: approximately 1.6 in. (4 cm) diameter each
candle holders: suitable for candles approximately 1 in. (2.5 cm) in diameter

constructed around a long vertical iron stem, the candelabrum develops through four individually formed arms supporting tall, tapered candle holders. Suspended beneath them are four circular glass elements—two emerald green and two warm amber—each held within a dark metal fitting.
the composition is particularly effective in three dimensions. Rather than forming a flat, strictly symmetrical silhouette, the iron arms curve and intersect around the central stem, altering the visual relationship between the candle holders and colored glass elements as the piece is viewed from different angles.
the restrained black iron construction contrasts with the transparency and saturated color of the glass. Under natural light, the pendants shift from deep green and amber tones to brighter translucent highlights, introducing color without compromising the architectural character of the structure.
its unusually elongated proportions are central to the design. At approximately 94 cm in overall height, the suspended structure has a pronounced vertical presence while retaining the visual lightness associated with scandinavian modern metalwork of the period.
