Iittala - Nappula candle holder 107mm steel

Designer Matti Klenell drew inspiration for Nappula from an awkwardly shaped table with 'swollen' legs. It reminded Klenell of a classic form regularly found in the works of design masters such as Oiva Toikka and Kaj Franck. Klenell's interpretation of the table led to the distinctive silhouette of Nappula. A tall, elegant stem resting on a solid, round base. The smaller Nappula candle holder creates maximum impact with its combination of vintage and contemporary details. It reflects a soft light that lends a warm atmosphere to any interior. Aqua adds serene calm. A modern classic, the Nappula candleholder looks lovely on its own or grouped in a collection. An excellent gift idea. We recommend tapered candles.
