STOFF Nagel candle holder

The STOFF Nagel candle holder is a true design classic that has now been re-launched by the Danish company STOFF Copenhagen. This new variant features a hand-painted antique finish in elegant bronze hues. Because each candle holder has been painted by hand, every single iteration of the piece is entirely unique. Across many years of time and use, the surface of the candle holder will acquire a beautiful patina to further accentuate the vintage feel and expressive charm of the piece. Nagel candle holders are especially intriguing as they can be arranged in many different ways: use the holders by themselves as a single stately candle, or you can place them together in a gorgeous ensemble. The original version was conceived by the illustrious designer duo Werner Stoff and Hans Nagel in the early 1960s. Hans Nagel came up with the idea for the unique shape and modular construction when he fell in the snow during a ski trip in the Alps. While down in the white, his fingers formed three imprints that his eyes came to connect in a distinctive three-pronged shape — the very form that would soon come to be the template for this iconic candle stick.
