Anders Pehrson candlestick
A rare and large candlestick model Ofir Octav for eight candles designed by Anders Pehrson and produced by Ateljé Lyktan in Åhus, Sweden, during the 1960s. The model exemplifies Pehrson’s refined modernist language, where structural clarity and decorative restraint are combined into a balanced and sculptural object.
The construction is executed in white lacquered metal, forming a slender central stem from which eight arms extend in a symmetrical, radial configuration. The white finish gives the piece a lighter and more architectural presence, emphasizing its linear geometry while softening the overall visual weight. The composition remains precise and rhythmic, with each arm carefully angled to create both balance and spatial openness.
Each candle holder is fitted with a brass cup supporting a clear glass hurricane shade. The glass elements have a rounded, bulbous profile that contrasts gently with the строг linearity of the metal frame. The warm tone of the brass introduces a subtle decorative accent against the white structure, while the transparency of the glass allows light to diffuse evenly, enhancing the object’s atmospheric qualities when in use.
The candlestick measures approximately 43 cm in diameter and 81 cm in height (16.9 x 31.9 inches), giving it a substantial scale suitable for use as a floor-standing or centerpiece object. It remains in good vintage condition with minor signs of use, including light wear and small marks to the lacquered surface and brass details, consistent with age and careful handling.
