Classic Brass Candleholders, Set of 2

Jens Quistgaard

Pre-order

The Classic Brass candleholders have the familiar shape and proportions of a traditional candlestick, in miniature.

Designed by Jens Quistgaard for Dansk, the pair belongs to the Designs With Light collection, an exploration of sculptural forms and the light they hold. Quistgaard relied on candles and paraffin lamps at his island home on Vigø, where the idea for the collection took shape. He explored how candles could be tilted, grouped, and placed at different heights to change the light around a table. His first brass candleholders for Dansk appeared in 1956 as a complement to his early teak designs. Sold as a pair.

Use & Care

We recommend using our Tiny Tapers, which were made especially for Dansk candleholders. Set on a stable, heat-resistant surface and let the holders cool before moving or cleaning. Keep candles away from drafts and anything flammable, and never leave them burning unattended.

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Warm water helps soften candle wax. Do not use brass polish or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the clear lacquer.

Jens Quistgaard

“As you know, a spoon is very close to being like the leaf on a stem.” Quistgaard noticed how one part of a natural form became another, and wanted that same ease in the things he designed. He paid attention to where a handle widened, where an edge turned, how the whole thing felt in your hand. There was a great deal to work out in something as familiar as a spoon.

Nothing overthought. Nothing ordinary.
