Description :

This is a beautiful and iconic set of five vintage Festivo candleholders, designed by Timo Sarpaneva for Iittala, Finland. The collection includes a variety of heights, creating a sculptural and visually striking display. The design features a rough, "ice-like" texture that is characteristic of Sarpaneva's work.
These Festivo candleholders were designed in 1966 and have become a well-known classic of Finnish design. The original design was actually conceived as the base for a wine glass.
The set is in excellent vintage condition. An interesting feature of this particular set is that the glass reacts to UV light, turning a light yellow color. This is a characteristic of some older glass pieces where certain elements, such as manganese, were used as a decolorizing agent. This is a unique trait that collectors may find appealing.
This set is perfect for a collector of Scandinavian design or anyone looking to add a touch of mid-century modern elegance to their home.


Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No chips or cracks.
Material: Glass
Designer: Timo Sarpaneva
