A candlestick designed by Erik Höglund for Bo Svensk, produced in Sweden during the 1960s. The piece combines a teak wood base with four black metal chimneys, punctuated by amber glass medallions positioned between each chimney.

This material interplay – warm wood, darkened metal, and translucent glass – demonstrates the Swedish approach to domestic objects during this period: functional items elevated through considered material selection and restrained ornamentation.

Designer

Erik Höglund (1932–1998) was a Swedish artist and designer whose work spanned glass, ceramics, and metalwork. He is best known for his long collaboration with Boda glassworks, where he introduced a deliberately primitive, handcrafted aesthetic that countered the polished refinement dominating Swedish glass production. His designs frequently incorporated figural motifs, textured surfaces, and an appreciation for material imperfection.

Manufacturer

Bo Svensk was a Swedish producer of domestic objects during the mid-20th century, working with established designers to create functional items for the home market. The company's output aligned with the broader Scandinavian design movement's emphasis on craftsmanship, natural materials, and democratic accessibility. Production prioritised quality execution over mass-market volume, resulting in pieces that have endured both physically and aesthetically.
