A sculptural vintage IKEA KRÄSEN candle holder from 1987, attributed to designer Ehlén Johansson. Its playful zigzag silhouette and combination of brass-tone metal and stone evoke the bold, geometric spirit of 1980s Swedish postmodern design.

An eye-catching vintage candlestick that stands beautifully as a small decorative object, even without a candle. A distinctive collectible for lovers of early IKEA design and graphic interiors.
