Sfär - Tealight Candle Holder in Glass and Porcelain
Sfär is not just a tealight holder – it’s an experience of light in motion. Handcrafted in Lidköping, Sweden, its porcelain sphere embraces a precisely water-cut glass sheet from Emmaboda. Together, they transform a simple flame into something extraordinary. When the candle is lit, the glass guides the light and breaks it along the matte edge, creating a golden, glowing halo that seems to pulse with life. Subtle yet mesmerizing, this ethereal effect is what makes Sfär truly iconic.
Spegla - Mirror & Candle Holder
Spegla is a sculptural object that shifts between function and illusion – a freestanding mirror and candle holder designed to transform with light.
When unlit, the circular glass acts as a sleek mirror, subtly reflecting its surroundings. When the candle is lit, the flame appears to float within the semi-transparent mirror glass, while the edge begins to glow softly – a quiet play of reflection and refraction that changes the atmosphere of the entire room.
