Vintage Tuikku candle holder (Finnish for “Small light”) designed by Heikki Orvola for Arabia Wärtsilä (Nuutajärvi), Finland, in the late 1970s to early 1980s.
Crafted in beautiful smoky amber glass, the piece is composed of two interlocking parts: a cylindrical base with a broad rim for stability, and a rounded dome-shaped top with an open mouth for dispersing candlelight. The modular design allows the upper part to sit snugly in the base, creating a lantern silhouette that's both sculptural and functional.
Dimensions: Height is 18.5 cm. Very good vintage condition with light traces of use.
Its clean lines and elemental form embody the essence of Finnish modernism, making it ideal for midcentury, Scandinavian or minimal interiors. It also integrates beautifully into contemporary or eclectic spaces as a design statement that balances function, form, and material honesty.
Perfect for adding soft, atmospheric light to shelves, tables or meditative corners.
