This candleholder was made by the Danish company Digsmed and designed by the Danish designer Jens Quistgaard in 1964. They are made from teak and cast iron.
The candles for this type of candleholders can sometimes be difficult to find, so we asked our supplier of beeswax candles, to produce the candles especially for these 0.7cm candleholders. You can find them here.
