Bauhaus Sculptural Bronze Candlestick by Benno Meyer, 1930

This exceptional candle holder combines functionality with artistic expressiveness and exemplifies the formal understanding of early modernism. Designed in 1930 by Benno Meyer, the object impresses with its organically curved, almost flowing lines.

Crafted from solid bronze with a beautiful patina, and worked in characteristic hammered technique, the surface has a vibrant, slightly textured patina that subtly reflects light and lends depth and individuality to the piece. The dynamic S-shape appears frozen in motion, giving the candle holder a sculptural presence – an independent art object even without a candle.

Benno Meyer was an early modernist designer whose work was strongly influenced by the zeitgeist of the Bauhaus era. His designs are characterized by the combination of clear function and artistic form. He placed particular emphasis on material honesty and craftsmanship.

Meyer's works often move between design and sculpture – just like this candle holder, which is not only a utilitarian object but also an aesthetic statement.
