Onion Silver Candleholders, Set of 2

Jens Quistgaard

Pre-order

The Onion candleholders are small and heavy, with narrow necks for long, slender tapers. Stand them straight or tilt at whim.

Designed by Jens Quistgaard in 1964, Onion belongs to Dansk’s Designs With Light collection, an exploration of sculptural forms and the light they hold. Solid brass gives the small holders their weight and stability, while silver plating nods to Quistgaard’s early silverwork. Sold as a pair, they can be arranged to lean together or away from one another.

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.

Use warm water to remove candle wax, then dry with a soft cloth. For tarnish, use a polish suitable for silver plating. Avoid abrasive cleaners and excessive polishing.

DESIGNER

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.
