Normann Copenhagen - Flag Candle Holder

Flag is a minimalist and funky candlestick with a geometric and conclusive expression. The Swedish designer Jonas Wagell has created this new interpretation of the classical chamber candlestick – a light candleholder in five warm colours.

In the old days, the chamber candlestick was used to provide light at night. Today, candlelight is used to create a warm and cosy atmosphere. With clear references to the chamber candlestick, Flag has a recognisable function, a modern expression and is easily moved by picking up the little flag. Wagell's design was inspired by the little signal flags on floating buoys used to send signals to sailors.
Designed to hold a single candle, the candlestick has a classic expression that would suit any interior style.

Jonas Wagell explains: “I was inspired by the language used at sea, where small flags on buoys warn and inform sailors. The base of the candlestick resembles a floating buoy and the little handle a semaphore flag. In the same way as the buoys, the Flag candlestick attracts attention and creates light.”
