DESIGNER: Heikki Orvola, 1988
These small colourful jewels of light are the creations of a thorough
knowledge of glass. The colours and thickness of the glass enriches the glow
as it multiplies the flickers of the flame. The wide range of colours lets you
create a cocktail of colours for every individual occasion of year.
The design is so minimalist that one might easily imagine that it took
endless stripping away of the unnecessary until it emerged. As Orvola
explains, however, the process was somewhat different:
“When I got the commission, I knew what they wanted from me: a
Scandinavian glass candleholder. I gave it some thought and then that
‘blunt piece of tubing’ began to take shape in my mind.”
“When I sketched the shape, I thought, that’s it right there – the only right
solution.”
