Pair of geometric Memphis candlesticks

Postmodern design, circa 1985–1990 — Design attributed to the Memphis movement. A stunning pair of postmodern table candlesticks made of heavy metal, featuring a geometric design and a strong sculptural presence. Designed in two heights — 34.5 cm and 23 cm — the two candlesticks form a particularly graphic set. Their combination creates an elegant play of proportions and gives the pair a true presence on a table, console, or sideboard. The deep and subtle bronze-grey finish adds a sophisticated tone to their geometric aesthetic. It highlights the material and gives the whole a contemporary, sculptural look that is very representative of the postmodern taste of the 1980s. Their design directly evokes the vocabulary of postmodernist design and the Memphis movement: a bold geometric approach, a strong decorative dimension, and the desire to transform everyday objects into true compositional elements. A pair of character, graphic and sculptural, that works well both alone and integrated into a richer composition, particularly with furniture and objects in glass, chrome, brass, or wood.
