A striking vintage 1970s steel candle holder designed by Georges Bourgeois for Habitat. This sculptural modernist piece features articulated swing arms that rotate around a central column, allowing you to create dynamic, asymmetrical arrangements. With its brushed steel finish and tulip-style flared base, it perfectly captures the bold yet minimal aesthetic of 1970s modern design.
Standing 35cm tall, 16cm wide, with a 12cm diameter base, the form is architectural and balanced, making it as much a statement sculpture as it is a functional candelabra. The pivoting arms allow for versatile styling — compact and vertical or extended in a dramatic spread.
A superb piece of vintage Habitat design history, ideal for mid-century modern, industrial, or contemporary interiors. Perfect for dining tables, sideboards, or as a centrepiece.
A rare and collectable design-led candle holder in excellent vintage condition.
