Description

Nambé Sculptural 3-Taper Candleholder #694 – 1999

Elevate your interior with this modern sculptural candleholder from Nambe, model #694, designed and cast in 1999. This piece is forged from Nambe's proprietary metal alloy—a silver-toned, highly polished blend of eight metals known for its durability and gleaming finish.

Sculpturally arched in form, the design holds three taper candles, with recessed wells spaced along the crest of the arc. The lines are fluid and organic, reminiscent of mid-century modern and minimalist aesthetics. Whether displayed on a dining table, sideboard, or mantle, this piece offers both form and function in a single artful silhouette.

Background:

Nambe is an American company founded in New Mexico in 1951. Its name comes from a nearby pueblo, and its designs are known for combining artisan craftsmanship with sleek, modern forms. Pieces from Nambe are often found in design-forward homes and are featured in the collections of major museums such as MoMA.

The #694 candleholder is attributed to the period when Nambe was producing limited edition sculptural works designed by top industrial designers.
