Gemini Candle Holder
Price
In 1967, Interior Design magazine featured twenty-seven-year-old Peter Karpf alongside his transparent acrylic light fixture. The Danish architect had already designed innovative chairs of wood and Plexiglas and a ser- ies of lamps. He had learned furniture design from Fritz Hansen and worked for Grete Jalk and Arne Jacobsen.
Peter Karpfs design are represented at numerous museums worldwide including; Museum of Modern Art, New York, Victoria & Albert Museum, London.
In 2002 Karpf was awarded the Bruno Mathson Prize - the most prestigious de- sign award in Scandinavia. The jury's comment was: "His strong sense of form in combination with a deep understanding of materials and manufacturing techniques make him one of the greatest contemporary Nordic designers."
To Karpf design is a process of discarding experiments. Thinking that we all live in a very noisy age he designs furniture that brings us down to earth and makes us relax in a stressful world. This becomes clear when looking at the simplicity and calmness of the Gemini candleholder.
Peter Karpf has always been fascinated by the living flame and therefore designed a candleholder with not only one but two flame holders. Shaped in solid polished stainless steel like a half circle the Gemini candleholder provides an all-neutral and harmonious course from flame to flame.
What's more the open shape renders greatest freedom for combining an endless number of Gemini candleholders.
