The candlesticks feature a distinctive, geometric form typical of European Mid-Century and Brutalist design. The monumental, polygonal base rests on six short feet. The upper section consists of a wide, hand-textured bowl with a central spike for the candle.
Particularly striking is the irregular, hammered surface of the bowls, which beautifully reflects light and emphasizes the sculptural character of the pieces.
These are not delicate decorative candleholders—their large size, heavy form, and solid construction make them a standout element in any interior design. They fit perfectly into Brutalist, Modernist, Mid-Century Modern, loft-style, and eclectic interiors.
