Anders Pehrson candlestick
A rare and large candlestick model Ofir Octav for eight candles, designed by Anders Pehrson in 1967 and produced by Ateljé Lyktan in Åhus, Sweden. The design reflects Pehrson’s distinctive approach to modernist lighting and decorative objects, where technical precision is combined with a sculptural and highly architectural form.
The structure is executed in black lacquered metal, rising from a circular base into a slender central stem. From this محور, eight arms extend in a carefully balanced radial arrangement, creating a symmetrical and open composition. The black finish emphasizes the graphic quality of the design, giving the piece a defined and elegant presence while highlighting the interplay between line and volume.
Each arm supports a brass candle cup fitted with a clear glass hurricane shade. The shades have a softly rounded, bulbous form, providing a gentle contrast to the строг linear framework. The brass elements have developed a natural patina over time, adding depth and warmth to the overall appearance. When lit, the glass shades diffuse the candlelight evenly, enhancing the atmospheric qualities of the piece.
The model measures approximately 43 cm in diameter and 81 cm in height (16.9 x 31.9 inches), making it a substantial and sculptural object suitable for both floor placement and as a striking centerpiece. It remains in good vintage condition with minor signs of use, including light wear to the lacquered surface and patination to the brass, consistent with age and careful use.
