Thomas Hellström for Nittsjö – this extraordinary candlestick combines the clear formal language of Swedish ceramic art with a vibrant color scheme. The bold, cobalt blue top with contrasting turquoise details rests on a solid, dark gray base with a rough lava look – a harmonious combination of shine and texture.

The interplay of glaze and raw ceramic makes this piece a small work of art, both functional and decorative. Whether used as a standalone piece or part of an ensemble, this candleholder sets striking accents in both modern and classic interiors.

An authentic vintage piece by Thomas Hellström for Nittsjö that will delight collectors and lovers of Scandinavian design.

My tip: Combine the candlestick with white candles – the contrast enhances the luminosity of the cobalt blue top.
