Set of 3 1980s Kräsen IKEA Candle Holders
An unusual set of 3 vintage IKEA 1980s Kräsen candle holders designed by Ehlén Johansson. The three candle holders form an abstract Picassoesque face with an eye, nose and corkscrew mouth. Each one is constructed with a brass candle holder and wax circular catchment tray at the top which are detachable and screw onto the formed iron wire rod below which makes cleaning them very easy indeed. The iron rod is fixed into a square granite base from Älmhult (IKEA's hometown) in Sweden. The candle holders are part of the experimental "Tomorrow Collection" produced by Ehlen Johansson for Ikea in the late eighties/early nineties. In very good vintage condition with some small signs of age related wear and slight signs of rust to the iron. The candle holders are designed reminiscent to the Memphis style. A wonderful addition to a dining or coffee table to add some interest and fun.

Retro Living evolved from a passion for sourcing eclectic, interesting and unusual items of furniture, art, lighting and objets d'art for my own home which then developed into a website and then a shop.
