Wastberg Holocene No. 7 Candleholder & Vase
HOLOCENE NO. 7 CANDLEHOLDER & VASE
HOLOCENE NO. 7 CANDLEHOLDER & VASE
Designed by Ingegerd Råman
Ever faithful to her habit of keeping a flower at her bedside, Råman explored different interpretations of the same concept between 1968 and 1995: a slim single-flower glass vase, with a clever reversable insert transforming it into a candleholder.
All these years later, Holocene No. 7 revisits this concept, adding a polished steel base that echoes and amplifies the reflective qualities of the glass body.
Behind Holocene No. 7’s apparent simplicity lies a meticulous attention to lines, proportions, and space. Its almost imperceptibly tapered body grants it a grace that is more sensed than noticed.
