Designer Timo Sarpaneva’s Festivo candleholder was a global sensation when it launched in 1967. In the decades since, it’s become a true icon of contemporary Finnish design. The ice-like textured surface of the glass object brings a unique, elegant detail to any home interior. The candleholders come in a variety of sizes which create a stunning display alone or grouped together. A metallic insert keeps candles sturdily in place, making it both safer and easier to enjoy the candle’s warm glow. The 150mm Festivo candleholder’s versatile size fits easily into any interior. Creates soft ambience. A perfect gift idea for weddings, anniversaries or birthdays. Tapered candles only.
Timo Sarpaneva originally designed the Festivo candle holder as a wine glass for himself. His goal was to be able to fit an entire bottle of wine into a single glass. The result was a rough surfaced, ice-like glass with the bowl and base sections blown separately. One day when noticing the base sections sitting on their own in the factory, they were inspired to turn them into candle holders-- and so the prototype of a new classic was born. In production since 1967, the Festivo series has become a true icon of the Finnish home.
