Heima Candleholder

Sturdy cast-iron candlestick for four candles

In Norse mythology, Heima "home" or "world," but Heima is also the name of the new candleholder from Normann Copenhagen . Heima is a four-armed cast-iron candlestick designed by Francis Cayouette, featuring a minimalist, Nordic design. In his interpretation of the classic candlestick, French-Canadian designer Francis Cayouette drew inspiration from the Nordic tradition of open hearth fires and the 1950s arts and crafts movement, which made extensive use of cast iron. The result is a candlestick with a distinctive design that pays homage to artisanal craftsmanship and Nordic traditions. The rough, almost cold surface gives the candlestick Heima character, while the rounded forms come together to create a modern design.

Open Fireplaces as the Designer’s Inspiration

Francis Cayouette himself says: “Crafts must have a distinctive character and a story. I’ve always been fascinated by the Nordic tradition of lighting and coziness created by an open fireplace, and working on this candleholder was a choice that came naturally. Cast iron is an exciting raw material that has been in use for many years. It feels good to the touch and gives the candlestick its contours. The “ Heima ” candlestick is simple and doesn’t steal the show; instead, it makes room for its true purpose—the open flame.” The minimalist candleholder is made of cast iron and was created for cozy get-togethers in a friendly atmosphere. It is handcrafted and blends beautifully into both modern and classic decor. To clean the Heima candle holder, Normann Copenhagen recommends warm water and a dry cloth. If there are any unwanted wax residues on Heima , place the product on a sheet of parchment paper in the oven. After five minutes at about 250° C, remove Heima it out of the oven and wipe off the remaining wax. Caution: The item will be very hot.
